Stercolia drug information

Stercolia is a natural fiber used to treat constipation or to regulate food flow in the digestive system of people with long-term digestive problems. You can buy this medicine with or without a prescription.

Constipation is a condition in which defecation is difficult and the frequency of defecation is less than normal. Constipation occurs due to poor diet and drinking insufficient amounts of water or delayed defecation. Pregnancy, lack of exercise, and some medications, such as painkillers, can cause constipation. Often, increasing the amount of bran in your diet and drinking plenty of water each day can effectively prevent constipation. If you can not increase the amount of bran in your diet or if you do not have enough fiber in your diet, it is recommended that you consume stercolia to reduce constipation.

Stercolia activates the intestinal muscles by increasing the amount of fiber in the diet, causing the stool to move in your gut and defecate more easily.

Stercolia extract helps regulate food flow in the digestive system of people with long-term digestive problems. It is sometimes prescribed for people with irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, and after a variety of bowel surgeries.
