Periodic cleansing of the intestines with Fortrans is necessary due to the fact that under the influence of a number of factors (violation of healthy eating rules, poor-quality products, poor environmental conditions, harmful production conditions, etc.), a lot of harmful substances accumulate in our body. All this “dirt” settles on the intestinal villi. And our task in this case is to choose a really good and proven method that will gently remove waste, toxins, heavy metal salts and radionuclides from the intestines.
Fortrans - benefits and harms, purposes of use
Fortrans - has a strong laxative effect. It is used to completely empty the intestines of feces. This is mandatory before conducting instrumental examinations of the intestines or operations on the abdominal organs. It should be used only as prescribed by a doctor. If you have frequent constipation, it is not recommended to drink it, since Fortrans, like all laxatives, causes an addiction syndrome and stops working after just one course of treatment, causing severe dehydration and a sharp diarrheal effect, bloating, flatulence, etc.
Fortrans is used as a powder to cleanse the intestines. A quick effect occurs after taking the second unplanned mug.
Indications for use and contraindications
Indications
Preliminary procedures before endoscopic instrumental examinations, preoperative preparation methods.
The advantage of the medicine is that it does not lead to electrolyte imbalance, but simply retains water in the body.
Water leaves all cells and remains in the intercellular space, so people suffering from edema should not take it.
If you eat exclusively coarse fiber before lavage (cleansing) of the intestines, the subsequent laxative effect may result in severe abdominal pain. Doctors advise following a gentle diet before using the drug.
Contraindications
- Any inflammatory diseases: colitis, enterocolitis, iriditis, hemorrhoids, hemorrhoidal cones;
- Any diseases of the kidneys, liver, heart, blood vessels, diabetes;
- Bleeding;
- Dehydration (symptoms: dry mouth, dizziness, weakness), diarrhea;
- Age up to 15 years;
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding;
- Cardiac or vascular failure, NDC (frequent dizziness, heart pain, interruptions in myocardial rhythm - arrhythmia);
- Intestinal obstruction, behind the collar of the intestines;
- Combining alcohol and Fortrans is contraindicated.
Side effects of Fortrans
- Since Fortrans has a strong laxative effect, it can wash out the microflora and cause intestinal dysbiosis.
After the course of treatment, you need to take probiotics such as: bacteriophages, acipol, bifidumbacterin, bifiform, enterol, probifor, normoflorin.
- When treating with probiotics, avoid foods that are starchy, sweet, or irritating to the intestinal walls. The course of treatment is 2 weeks;
- Cramps, colic in the abdomen;
- The medicine may disrupt the menstrual cycle;
- Rumbling, gurgling, flatulence;
- Minor intestinal injuries;
- Hair loss, since the medicine can sometimes relax the muscle fibers of the hair follicles;
- In rare cases: atony, decreased muscle tone of the intestines.
Restoration of intestinal functions
For the successful functioning of the intestines, it is necessary to restore the microflora. This must be done after each such cleansing of the body, otherwise the absorption of nutrients will be disrupted, hair will fall out, nails will break, and the heart rhythm will be disrupted.
After cleansing with Fortrans, a person experiences severe weakness and dizziness for 1-2 days. It's hard for him to work. These days, doctors recommend bed rest.
Over the next 6 months you should follow a special diet. More often consume fermented milk products, bifidobacteria, lactose, fresh garlic, probiotics and foods that help stop diarrhea, improve absorption and assimilation of beneficial microelements.
Instructions for use of Fortrans, method and dosage
A packet of Fortrans is designed to be dissolved in 1 liter of water. First, the water must be boiled and cooled to room temperature.
Correctly calculate the dosage based on the fact that the dose of 1 sachet is intended for 15-20 kg of human weight.
Therefore, a person weighing 80 kg needs to drink 80/15 = 5.33 sachets or 80/20 = 4 sachets. If the calculation results in a fractional number, then you need to round to whole numbers. That is, a person weighing 80 kg needs to drink 4-5 sachets dissolved in 4-5 liters of water.
Only a doctor can determine the exact dosage, but recently preference has been given to calculating one sachet per 20 kg of weight, that is, on the smaller side. It is better to dissolve each liter separately. The entire solution must be drunk within several hours. You should drink one glass every 15-20 minutes, taking one glass every 5-10 minutes. This is approximately 1 liter per hour.
This medicine should be taken two hours after lunch. During the procedures, eating is strictly prohibited until the morning. You can drink water without gases.
It is recommended to start the procedure at noon. If you drink the first liter of the drug at 16:00 or later, you are guaranteed a sleepless night.
If you can’t drink one serving at one time, you can divide it into two doses, for example 2 liters in the evening, 2 in the morning.
The use of Fortrans before a planned operation, which will be performed in the morning, consists of a single dose of the drug in the evening and in the morning. With this administration, complete intestinal lavage will occur 18 hours after the first dose of the medicine. The last dose of Fortrans should be 3-4 hours before the operation.
Fortrans tastes disgusting. To avoid vomiting and discomfort in the mouth, you need to drink in small sips, without holding it in your mouth; you can eat the medicine with small pieces of orange.
If, after taking Fortrans and having a bowel movement, yellow water continues to come out for some time, this is normal. This reaction is related to the mechanism of action of this drug.
The medicine is not absorbed into the body. Movements and light abdominal massage stimulate the action of the medicine.
To avoid nausea, you need to refrigerate the medicine.

Why does the water come out bright yellow?
I want to cleanse my intestines, I know from what you say that it’s disgusting, but I’m interested in another question: how long will it take me to get everything out, will I be able to go to work normally the next day? Administration of the Woman website. Remember that the discussion is being conducted not only by doctors, but also by ordinary readers, so some advice may not be safe for your health. Before any treatment or taking medications, we recommend that you consult a specialist!
Yesterday I went for an irrigoscopy. And the toilet is renovated!!! I especially liked the device that they insert into you. The principle of operation is reminiscent of a spray gun, like spraying cologne in a Soviet hairdresser.
In general, I'm starting to get used to it. And soon he’ll start liking it. I drink the third liter for 4 hours, it doesn’t work faster, the infection doesn’t go away, my butt is burning, even though I apply cream, it’s terrible, but you can drink, the main thing is not to breathe when you drink and turn off all the receptors, well, lemon, I don’t know without it, It’s like I’m drinking, water is pouring out, but it’s still cloudy.
I hope the torment will be justified. The knowledge that you are more than once in an embrace with a fortrans gives you strength, and lemon and ape juice rule. Good day to all! Today I’m going to join the ranks of those who know Fortrans firsthand. I’ll write back later: Who’s with me? Well, I drank a liter in an hour, but I’ll tell you, friends, it’s not so much the taste that’s frightening, although disgusting, not without it, it’s just not easy to drink so much liquid in such a limited time!
I drank 2. The process started. It is easier to drink when very chilled in the freezer and tasted with sour tangerine. There's still a liter left. In general, my story. Due to very frequent pain in the intestines and bloating, the gastroenterologist advised me to undergo a colonoscopy. Of course, I was very scared, because I know that this procedure is very painful and therefore I immediately decided for myself that I would do it under sedation, not to be confused with anesthesia.
So I called a paid clinic, unfortunately in the state. Oh, how scared I was, having read so many terrible comments that I immediately went and bought lemons, tangerines and apple juice and waited with fear for this terrible procedure to begin.
In general, the hour has come, I diluted 1 sachet of Fortrans, snacked on lemon and quickly drank half a glass of this liquid! To my great surprise, I didn’t feel any nasty taste, but just sweetish water with a carrot taste, more precisely like boiled carrots, the taste was certainly not great, but I could drink it calmly.
I drank about half a glass, taking breaks of 10 minutes, and sometimes snacking on lemon and tangerines to somehow diversify my “food”. The first liter went generally calmly, then it was more difficult due to the large amount of liquid that was already in stomach. In the end, I drank 3 liters, and not 4 as I was advised, because for my weight of 48 kg this was enough.
After this whole procedure, I felt fine to eat, I just wanted to eat, the next day I went to the clinic, they injected me with this diprivan, I immediately passed out, then I woke up absolutely normal, they checked everything for me, ugh ugh, they didn’t find anything wrong and I went home with a calm soul . This is my story. Sorry it's so long. It’s a shame, who drinks this stuff for prevention!!! I’ve been pumping for the 4th hour now, half a liter is left from 3. I psyched myself up that everything was nonsense - it shouldn’t be as bad as they write.
I'm not the picky type. In the end, everything is exactly like that. Drinking IS the real challenge. The first liter was tolerable, on the second a gag reflex appeared, I drink the third with tambourines - I sniff and suck the lemon, wash it down with some water, before, after and during a sip of this nasty thing.
Hello, I drank everything, but I only had a bowel movement once, a little, and the rest of the time, water came out, opaque, of course, that is, not water, but this same fortrans.
It can’t be that just the first time I sat on the toilet I got clean? I drank 2 liters in 2 hours, the effect came after the last glass, about 20 minutes later I was very afraid to drink, having read horror films. It turned out to be not so disgusting - I snacked on a lemon tomorrow, going to the proctologist - this is even worse. My water is always pouring out - it’s cloudy, it’s just that the drug dissolves everything well, apparently. I also have yellow water.
Moreover, at first it came as light, and then as a solution of furacelin. The only reassuring thing is that I’m not the only one who feels this way. Anyone who drank flit, write how long it should take for it to “start”, 2 hours have passed and it’s only purring. People, please share your recommendations??? In general, I feel terribly sick. Here is my story: Today I had a colonoscopy, I prepared with the help of Fortrans. I started drinking yesterday at 6 pm. Weight 57 kg. I waited until half past midnight for the effect, I only felt a wild seething and there was a feeling that there was a weight in my stomach, without waiting for anything I went to bed.
In the end, it’s not as scary as I thought and it only takes 10 minutes, for me the hardest thing was to drink this crap, good luck to everyone. I tried to snack on tangerine and now I only eat tangerine, and I don’t feel like drinking fortrans at all, but I understand that I need to. Everyone here has some serious examinations, operations. Maybe it’s not necessary to suffer at all?.. I put the tangerine aside, I continue to drink. It’s disgusting, I can’t bring myself to sit, I’m choking.
Is it possible to combine two drugs like this?? First one and then another... For some reason the doctor didn’t tell me about the diet; many people write about tangerine and orange juice here. They say it's easier to drink this way. I went to the doctors’ forum, there is also information about mandarin and lemon. What a timely topic Girls, good evening! I should take Lavacol tomorrow, it says I should start before, the recommended hours for taking it are from , the examination is the day after tomorrow at 9 am, what time should I start drinking, I’m completely confused, help me in any way I can, please.
Surely it will soon be easier for you, if it’s only evening. For us, it’s already almost eleven o’clock. Apparently you won’t have to sleep at night. My forum. Live. Show in full. Reply to the author. The last one was on April 28. My dysbacteriosis started after this drug!!!

An osmotic laxative is used to cleanse the intestines as quickly as possible.
What can be substituted, Fortrans analogues
The following saline laxatives have the same effect as Fortrans:
It's up to you to decide which is better: Microlax, Fortrans or Lacasol. The mechanism of action of all these drugs is fluid retention, dilution of feces and their rapid excretion.
It is imperative to monitor diuresis (normally, the fluid leaving the body should be equal to that consumed).
After the procedures, it is necessary to begin replenishing lost fluid. To do this, you need to buy drugs such as: rehydron, oralit. If the fluid loss is more than 50% of your body weight (calculated by the doctor after the results of laboratory tests), you will most likely be given an IV.
You can determine the symptoms of dehydration yourself: dry mouth, drooping eyes, dry flaking skin, thirst, cramps, sweating, difficulty breathing, weakness. If you notice two or more symptoms, consult your doctor. These symptoms mean that there has been a shift in the blood to the alkaline side - alkalosis. It needs to be leveled by taking saline medications - Oralit, Rehydron.
With a single dose of Fortrans, the amount of fluid in the body does not change. After one course of treatment with this medicine, you need to replenish the lost fluid with warm herbal tea or warm water. Compotes, juices, carbonated drinks and other drinks that irritate the intestinal walls should not be drunk.
If after taking Fortrans there is no stool, you cannot go to the toilet, then perhaps you did not calculate the dosage correctly. If everything was calculated correctly, then all you can do is contact a medical institution with this issue for emergency medical help.
An osmotic laxative is used to cleanse the intestines as quickly as possible. It is not necessary to resort to using an enema. It is enough to purchase Fortrans: reviews, bowel cleansing using various methods of this drug are described below.
How does Fortrans work?
Fortrans colon cleanser acts similarly to an enema. Only the enema must be performed 2 times, and after it there remains an unpleasant burning sensation in the colon. And Fortrans is taken once.
The active ingredient macrogol frees the colon from waste and toxins. It retains the amount of water you drink along with the medicine until all the substances accumulated in the intestines leave its walls. Accordingly, waste products increase the water level, causing a laxative effect.
Most people are interested in the following questions about taking the drug, to which doctors have given reasonable answers:
- Does the medicine work quickly? The duration of action depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The drug begins to remove harmful substances from the body after 1-2 hours. Cases of late action of the drug were often observed, 4 hours after the first dose of the sachet.
- What liquid is released after cleansing the intestines with Fortrans? Feces will be released within 3-6 hours. Upon completion of the removal of all toxins and toxic substances, the liquid evacuated by the intestines should be light in color with a yellow tint.
- Is it possible to become dehydrated after using Fortrans? Definitely not. The main active ingredient does not bind water molecules, pulling them out of the organs. It reacts only with the water that was drunk along with the medicine.
An isotonic electrolyte solution prevents dehydration.
Features and regimen of medication for weight loss
Colon cleansing for weight loss with this drug should not be performed more than once every 3 months.
Important! It's better to take two days off and spend them at home. Because after cleansing, weakness and dizziness are possible.
How to take Fortrans to cleanse the colon? The dosage of the drug is calculated based on the person’s weight. The instructions say that for 20 kg of weight you need to drink 1 liter of water with 1 sachet of Fortrans. This means that a woman weighing 80 kg should drink a maximum of 4 liters of solution.
How to drink Fortrans solution? The medicine is taken in small sips. To make it easier to drink the medicine, squeeze a little lemon juice into a glass before use.
How to take the drug correctly when losing weight? If you want to get rid of a few kilograms before an important event or just for yourself, take Fortrans by choosing one of the methods presented below.
- The first way to use the solution: drink the required amount of liquid over 4 hours, dividing it into equal parts.
- The second way to use the medicine: the entire volume of the medicine dissolved in water in advance is drunk in 2 doses of 2 liters in the morning and in the evening before 18:00. Drink all liquid within 2 hours.

Hello, I have a colonoscopy tomorrow, I’ve already drank 3 liters but only water comes out, is this how it should be? Why is there no feces? Answers: 5; . Maksimov Alexey Vasilievich. Yes, that's how it should be. The idea of the overwhelming majority of patients that the rectum and colon are filled with feces is not entirely true.
In the right sections of the large intestine, the contents are liquid and its consistency gradually thickens to the ampulla of the rectum. Therefore, when taking more than 1.5 liters of Fortrans, it is water that should come out of the anus, slightly colored brown.

This is an alternative method to the natural method of cleansing the intestines morning-evening, the method of yogic cleansing with salt water - Shank Prakshalana. Its main advantages over other cleaning agents and methods:.
How to take medicine before a colonoscopy
A medicated colon cleanse is increasingly being used for colonoscopy. 2 days before the procedure, the patient must stop taking any antidiarrheal drugs and laxatives. Preparing for cleansing before a colonoscopy requires a serious approach; taking certain medications along with Fortrans can cause significant harm to the body.
The correct use of the drug at the right time will facilitate the use of the drug:
- At 11 o'clock in the afternoon you should take your last meal. Food should be light and low-fat.
- Start taking the medicine 2 hours after meals. In this case it is at 13.00.
- Set an alarm on your phone so that it rings every 20 minutes. At this time you need to drink a glass of the product.
Thus, the drug will end by 6 pm. Cleansing the colon using the above method takes place without consequences and ends by 24.00.
Important! Before the procedure, you are not allowed to eat or drink anything in the morning from 8 to 9 am.
If the procedure is scheduled for the afternoon, you are allowed to drink low-fat chicken broth without bread or meat, only liquid food.
When there are three days left
3 days before the examination, foods rich in fiber are excluded from the diet:
- cabbage;
- potato;
- radish;
- radish;
- peas;
- beans and other legumes;
- cucumbers;
- bread;
- muesli;
- cereal baked goods;
- nuts;
- dried fruits;
- yogurt with fruits and grains;
- reduce portions of meat to 50 grams 2 times a day.
It is better to consult a doctor if you need to take aspirin, anticoagulants, insulin and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Attention!
It is better to put aside the drug that reduces blood clotting for these days. During a colonoscopy, you may need to pinch off a piece of polyp tissue or remove it. To prevent sudden heavy bleeding, the blood must clot normally.
Before the examination, it is necessary to do blood tests - a general blood test and a coagulogram with prothrombin. They should be carried out no earlier than 10 days before the colonoscopy.
How to Eat After a Colon Cleanse
After cleansing, intestinal restoration will be required. The powder washes out not only toxins, but also useful substances.
Attention! Drugs such as Linex or Bifidumbacterin will help restore the intestinal microflora.
Diet after cleansing also plays an important role. The next morning you need to start eating right. On the first day after cleaning, boil the rice, without salt or other spices. Try to avoid carbonated drinks and hard foods on the first day. They can damage the intestinal mucosa.
Drink more fluids to avoid dehydration. Meals after cleansing should be fractional to prevent overeating.
Important! Watch the amount of fiber you consume.
The day before
The day before the colonoscopy procedure, it is useful to exclude any solid foods from your diet. Before 9.00 am you are allowed to drink a glass of kefir or yogurt. After this, you can only drink liquids throughout the day:
- green or herbal tea with a spoon of honey;
- clean drinking water;
- clear juice.
What can you eat? Nothing! Just drink! In order for the cleansing of toxins to be successful, after the morning hours on the last day, the consumption of solid food, dairy products, meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, bread, and cereals is prohibited.
What can replace the drug?
Often people experience an allergic reaction in the form of a rash. In such cases, you should know how to replace Fortrans. Laxative analogues:
- Glycerin suppositories.
- Picolax.
- Phytolax.
- Lactuvit.
- Dufalak.
- Microlax.
- Defenorm.
- Normaze.
- Pikosen.
The best substitute for Fortrans is Lavacol. They are similar in indications and contraindications. Lavacol is even more often recommended than Fortrans.
Less popular are Lactulatus, Normolact, Portolact, Forlax, Tranzipeg, Magnesium Sulfate, Fleet Phospho-Soda.
Reviews about the drug
Reviews about laxative medicine are very varied. Mostly of a positive nature. The negative ones are related only to the taste of the powder.
Marina, 31 years old, Moscow : “I was pleased with the quick action of the drug. The price of the medicine is 450 rubles, suitable for everyone. Unlike other laxatives, I liked Fortrans the most. No side effects. The next day there is a feeling of lightness in the stomach.”
Elena, 37 years old, Vladivostok : “I always thought that it was possible to cleanse the intestines of toxins only in a hospital. However, Fortrans coped with this perfectly at home. Of course, you need to stay locked up for several days and then immediately eat right. Otherwise, all the labors of purification were unnecessary and useless.”
Side effects
Incorrect, unauthorized and repeated use of Fortrans provokes negative and dangerous side symptoms. This is due to the fact that it cleanses the intestines of everything that is present in it. The most common is the body’s addiction to the laxative effect of the drug. As a result, the intestines subsequently do not cleanse themselves. Individual sensitivity to the components of the drug leads to prolonged diarrhea and flatulence. In rare cases, hair loss, excessive brittleness of nails and bleeding gums occur. If the dosage is incorrect, the digestion of food consumed slows down.
