PRODIEM
Novartis
Consumer Health Canada Inc.

Novartis Consumer Health is proud
to introduce the new Prodiem family of laxative
products, which include two innovative bulk
fibre laxatives and a gentle overnight stimulant
laxative. Prodiem Plain
and Prodiem Plus granules are being phased
out.
New Prodiem
Bulk Fibre Therapy Caplets contain calcium
polycarbophil, an inert fibre that does
not undergo intestinal fermentation and
has marked water-holding capacity, more
than 3 times that of psyllium.
New Prodiem
Bulk Fibre Therapy Powder (regular and
sugar-free)
is formulated with methylcellulose, a generally
well-tolerated fibre that resists bacterial
breakdown and resulting gas formation.
New Prodiem
Overnight Relief Therapy Tablets contain
natural-source senna, a gentle stimulant
laxative for stubborn constipation.
These innovative
formulations will be available December
12, 03. Please call our professional
helpline 1-888-788-8181 if you need
additional information.
