Constipation is a common gastrointestinal condition affecting people of all age groups. When dietary fiber, hydration, and lifestyle changes are not sufficient, osmotic laxatives provide effective relief. Among them, Polyethylene Glycol 3350 with Electrolytes Oral Solution is widely prescribed due to its safety, efficacy, and predictable results.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 3350 is an osmotic laxative that retains water in the stool, making it soft and easier to pass. When combined with electrolytes such as Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, and Potassium Chloride, it helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance during bowel movements.
This formulation is commonly used for:
Chronic constipation
Occasional constipation
Bowel regulation support
Patients requiring gentle and sustained laxation
PEG 3350 works through a natural, non-irritant mechanism:
Draws water into the intestinal lumen
Softens stool consistency
Facilitates smooth bowel evacuation
Prevents electrolyte imbalance due to added salts
Unlike stimulant laxatives, it does not cause dependency or intestinal irritation.
Effective relief from constipation
