Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004078182A1] The invention relates to a novel composition which combines defined proportions of a soluble saccharide which is poorly absorbed by the organism (the most widely known being disaccharides such as lactulose, lactitol, trehalose) and an antiflatulent from the siloxane group (the most widely known being polydimethylsiloxanes such as simeticone, dimeticone). The inventive composition takes the form of a medicament or nutriceutical which is essentially intended to treat constipation without causing the adverse digestive effects such as meteroism and flatulence associated with poorly-absorbed soluble saccharides. The composition is also intended for the regeneration of intestinal flora and for the symptomatic treatment of functional digestive disorders involving bloating and constipation. The antiflatulent/saccharide ratio can be varied in order to produce essentially-laxative compositions with low ratios and essentially-antiflatuelnt compositions with higher ratios. Moreover, the ratio can be varied within the range of low ratios in order to produce different formulations which are intended for the initial and maintenance treatment of constipation. The novel composition can also comprise one or more excipients and/or one or more other active principles and can take the form of a stabilised liquid or a solid.
