Mineral water ‘Zayechitska horka’ in treatment of functional constipation
Abstract
Chronic constipation remains a current issue in clinical medicine. The publication presents the results of an open non-comparative observational study of the efficacy and safety of the Zajecicka horka' mineral water on functional constipation. The study included 31 patients with functional constipation. All patients were treated with sulfate-magnesium mineral water in a dose of 100 ml for 15 days. After the end of treatment, a statistically significant decrease in the main symptoms of functional constipation was recorded: rare bowel movement, form of stool, straining during bowel movement, a feeling of incomplete defecation. 74.2% of patients rated the effectiveness of mineral water as good. Thus, magnesium-sulfate mineral water can be prescribed as a first-line therapy in the treatment of functional constipation.
