Melilax is an innovative honey-based micro-enema that promotes bowel movements (within 1–20 minutes) without causing irritation; it is useful for treating occasional and chronic constipation, as well as in cases of difficult and painful bowel movements, even in the absence of constipation. Melilax combines a balanced evacuating action with a protective, soothing effect on the rectal mucosa to relieve the discomfort, irritation and inflammation also associated with constipation. Due to its physiological mechanism of action, use for prolonged periods helps promote bowel function and does not affect the bacterial flora (microbiota).
Melilax micro-enemas exert a physiological evacuating, protective and anti-inflammatory action on the rectal mucosa as a result of the following mechanisms of action:
It stimulates bowel movements in a physiological manner, drawing water into the rectum in a balanced way without causing irritation. This helps to soften the stools.
Thanks to its mucus-like properties and viscosity, it protects the rectal mucosa during the passage of stools, mimicking the lubricating action of natural mucus.
Thanks to its muco-adhesive properties, it is able to adhere specifically to the rectal mucosa, forming a barrier-like film that protects it from contact with irritants present in the stools. This promotes healing and combats inflammation.
Reduces free radicals generated by inflammation of the mucosa.
