Description

Composition

Indications

Bowels constipated without apparent cause, liver torpid, stools dry, hard and black, dull headache, foul breathe and bad taste in mouth, tongue is coated.

Constipation

It is a symptom and not a disease. Many men and nearly all women complain about their bowels. They have always tended to be rather constipated. Instead of having a daily bowel action, their bowels move only once every two or three days rather with difficult stool and at times painful.

i) The term given is intestinal stasis. In order that peristalsis may take place, it is necessary for the bowels to contain adequate amount of unabsorbed material or “roughage” which acts as stimulus for movement of the bowels. Taking of regular evacuants harms and lifelong dependence on one of them may cause organic complaints. However, in some cases at sometime it becomes a compulsion to prescribe a laxative. The need for laxative in patients taking Bioplasgen No. 4 is lower.

ii) Normal regular movement of the bowels is not to be expected in febrile dehydrated patients who are taking little or no solid food. Greater care must be taken to ensure a regular evacuation in weak, elderly patients, in whom accumulation of a mass of faces in the rectum tends to occur. It can be avoided by regular intake of Bioplasgen No. 4.

iii) Dyschezia is constipation due to functional sluggishness of the bowel, due to persistent failure to answer the call to stool. Apart from training of a regular bowel habit, use of Bioplasgen No. 4 or glycerin suppository if needed helps the children and old.

iv) Inefficient contraction in both the above conditions is related to improper intestinal fluid, the presence and content. The other cause is weakness of the muscles controlling the movement. It is in these areas where Bioplasgen No. 4 is of help
