It is advisable for the product to be taken at least 2 hours apart from that of drugs administered orally as the osmotic power of the macrogol and the induced increase in gastrointestinal transit speed can negatively influence their action. However, consult your doctor before taking Macrostip sachets if you are undergoing other therapies. Macrostip sachets can potentially interact if used with starch-based food thickeners. The ingredient macrogol counteracts the thickening effect of starch, thus liquefying preparations that must remain dense for people with swallowing problems.
While taking it, side effects such as indigestion, stomach pain or rumbling, bloating, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, anal irritation and light diarrhea may occur. These are effects that improve by reducing the dose. In case of allergic reactions, stop taking it and contact your doctor. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor or pharmacist.
