Composition of 1 sachet A:

• active substances: macrogol-3350 - 100 g, sodium sulfate - 7.5 g, sodium chloride - 2.691 g, potassium chloride - 1.015 g;
• auxiliary components: aspartame, acesulfame potassium, lemon flavoring V3938-1 N1.

Active substances in 1 sachet B: ascorbic acid - 4.7 g, sodium ascorbate - 5.9 g.

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Taking Moviprep, like other electrolyte solutions containing macrogol, leads to mild diarrhea and rapid colon cleansing.

Macrogol-3350, sodium sulfate and ascorbic acid have an osmotic effect and cause a laxative effect.

Macrogol-3350 increases the volume of feces, thereby increasing intestinal peristalsis.

The electrolytes that are part of Moviprep, as well as additional fluid intake, protect from violations of the water-electrolyte balance.

Pharmacokinetics

Macrogol-3350 is practically not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted in small quantities by the kidneys. The intestines remain unchanged.

Ascorbic acid is absorbed in the small intestine by active sodium-dependent saturable transport. There is an inverse relationship between the dose taken and the percentage absorbed from the dose. When taking a dose of 30-180 mg, about 70-80% of it is absorbed, with the subsequent intake of 12 g of ascorbic acid, only 2 g is absorbed.

After ingestion of large doses of ascorbic acid (AA) and in the case of its concentration in plasma ˃ 14 mg / l, the absorbed AA is excreted unchanged by the kidneys.
