NORMACOL is a laxative which contains sterculia. Sterculia is a bulking agent which stimulates the motility of the colon by increasing faecal volume, and reduces intraluminal recto-sigmoid pressure. Sterculia acts in the colon by forming a soft bulky stool and inducing a laxative effect.
Sterculia is not absorbed or digested in the gastrointestinal tract and its laxative action is normally effective within 12 hours of oral administration.
There is no evidence that Sterculia has a significant systemic toxicity potential.
