Ozovit Powder 100 g Pascoe

Description
Medical device containing, as its active substance, magnesium peroxide (not less than 25% MgO₂), which releases oxygen in the gastrointestinal tract. This release of oxygen is accompanied by a significant reduction in intestinal germs, which are present in large numbers in acute and chronic intestinal disorders (dysbiosis).
Ozovit MP is therefore used in cases of gastrointestinal disorders caused by abnormal fermentation and putrefaction. Ozovit MP has proved effective as a preliminary disinfecting agent of the intestinal tract in cases of dysbiosis. In intestinal mycoses, a specific antifungal treatment should precede the use of Ozovit MP, as its activity on fungi and protozoa has been found to be cytostatic.
Ozovit is a saline laxative with an osmotic action. Since magnesium peroxide is poorly absorbed, this results in water retention and an increase of water in the intestinal lumen. The intestinal contents become more voluminous, resulting in increased peristalsis.
Ozovit MP is indicated for episodes of occasional constipation and as a bowel evacuant before diagnostic tests or particular therapeutic treatments.

Composition
100 g contain: 100 g of magnesium peroxide.

Directions for use
Adults: 1 to 3 scoops of powder in water or fruit juice, twice a day, 1 hour after meals.
In case of severe diarrhoea, reduce the dose or stop treatment for 2-3 days. Then resume at a lower dose.

Warnings
Ozovit MP should not be used for more than one week.
Do not take in case of kidney failure or intestinal obstruction (ileus). Do not take in case of known hypersensitivity to magnesium peroxide. Do not give to children and adolescents. In rare cases, side effects such as severe diarrhoea with intestinal cramps and loss of electrolytes may occur. These can be avoided by reducing the dose.
Interactions with other medicines: in general, so as not to impair their absorption, an interval of 1-2 hours should be observed between taking Ozovit MP and the following substances: iron, tetracyclines, sodium fluoride, isoniazid, chlorpromazine and digoxin.
As with other laxatives, prolonged use of Ozovit MP may cause loss of water, potassium and other salts, resulting in heart function disorders and myasthenia. For this reason, use should be limited to one week.
