Micolette Micro-enema

Micolette Micro-enema Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Glycerol is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. Glycerol is used in medical, pharmaceutical and personal care preparations, mainly as a means of improving smoothness, providing lubrication, and as humectants.

Sodium citrate is the sodium salt of citric acid. It is white, crystalline powder or white, granular crystals, slightly deliquescent in moist air, freely soluble in water,practically insoluble in alcohol. Like citric acid, it has a sour taste.From the medical point of view, it is used as alkalinizing agent. It works by neutralizing excess acid in the blood and urine. It has been indicated for the treatment of metabolic acidosis.

Citrate prevents activation of the clotting cascade by chelating calcium ions. Citrate neutralizes acid in the stomach and urine, raising the pH .

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is a wetting agent and surfactant used in enema-type laxative products.

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate acts as a wetting agent and surfactant in pharmaceutical preparations . It is currently used in enema-type laxatives.

Uses

Glycerol helps lubricating in sexual intercourse specially for post menopausal women to reduce irritation, for lubrication during vaginal examinations, endoscopy, catheterization for gloves and instruments. It is also used to treat or prevent dry skin.

Sodium citrate is an ingredient used for the anticoagulation of whole blood as part of automated apheresis procedures.

Used as an anticoagulant during plasmophoresis as well as a neutralizing agent in the treatment of upset stomach and acidic urine .

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is a laxative indicated in the treatment of constipation and bowel preparation for rectal endoscopy.

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is not an active pharmacological ingredient in pharmaceutical preparations and so has no official indication.

Micolette Micro-enema is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Acidosis, Allergic cough, Allergies, Asthma, Asthma Chronic, Cough, Common Cold, Cough, Coughing caused by Bronchitis, Dehydration, Gouty Arthritis, Heartburn, Metabolic Acidosis, Phlegm, Airway secretion clearance therapy, Oral rehydration therapy, Plasmapheresis, Urine alkalinization therapy, Fluid and electrolyte maintenance therapy, Irrigation during surgical procedures, Irrigation of the ocular surface therapyConstipation, Preparation for rectoscopic or sigmoidoscopic examination

How Micolette Micro-enema works

Citrate chelates free calcium ions preventing them from forming a complex with tissue factor and coagulation factor VIIa to promote the activation of coagulation factor X . This inhibits the extrinsic initiation of the coagulation cascade. Citrate may also exert an anticoagulant effect via a so far unknown mechanism as restoration of calcium concentration does not fully reverse the effect of citrate . Citrate is a weak base and so reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to raise the pH. It it further metabolized to bicarbonate which then acts as a systemic alkalizing agent, raising the pH of the blood and urine . It also acts as a diuretic and increases the urinary excretion of calcium.
