Importal laxative powder

Importal is a pharmaceutical product primarily used for the treatment of constipation. It contains lactitol, a synthetic disaccharide sugar alcohol that works as an osmotic laxative. The brand was originally developed and marketed by Swiss pharmaceutical interests.

Today, Importal is owned by the Angelini Group (Angelini Pharma), an Italian multinational pharmaceutical company. While the brand has global reach, its manufacturing for the European market often remains centered in Switzerland or specialized facilities in Italy. Angelini Pharma has expanded its portfolio significantly by acquiring established brands from other companies to strengthen its presence in the consumer health and gastrointestinal sectors.
