Order Importal 10 g 20 sachets for constipation without prescription and give your opinion. This medication is recommended in the treatment of constipation or hepatic encephalopathy.
For warnings, precautions for use and contraindications, please consult the instructions for use of Importal 10 g 20 sachets for constipation without prescription.
Constipation is manifested by difficulty in passing stools that are often small and hard. But there is no need to have a bowel movement necessarily every day. We talk about constipation when we have a bowel movement less than three times a week.
Substances absorbed in the intestine pass into the circulation through the liver, where toxins are normally eliminated. Many toxins (like ammonia) are normal waste products of protein digestion. In hepatic encephalopathy, toxins are not eliminated because liver function is impaired . Additionally, some toxins can completely bypass the liver through abnormal connections (called collateral vessels) that form between the portal venous system (which carries blood to the liver) and the systemic circulation. These vessels form as a result of liver disease and portal hypertension.
A procedure used to treat portal hypertension (called a portosystemic shunt) can also allow toxins to bypass the liver. Whatever the cause, the prognosis is the same. Toxins can reach the brain and alter its functioning.
