Composition

Anhydrous Sodium Sulphate (11.36 Gm) + Polyethylene Glycol (118000 Mg) + Potassium Chloride (1484 Mg) + Sodium Bicarbonate (3370 Mg) + Sodium Chloride (2930 Mg)

Peglec Powder is a prescription medication to prepare the bowel for certain medical procedures, such as colonoscopy, colorectal surgery, or barium enema X-ray exams. It combines two laxatives: polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) and electrolytes, which help cleanse the bowel by increasing the frequency and volume of bowel movements.

Peglec Powder composition includes Polyethylene Glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) (118g), Sodium Chloride (2.93g), Potassium Chloride (1.484g), Sodium Bicarbonate (3.37g), Anhydrous Sodium Sulphate (11.36g).

Your doctor may prescribe Peglec Powder to help prepare your bowel for a medical procedure that requires a clear view of the colon or rectum. By cleansing the bowel before the procedure, the doctor can better view the area and identify potential issues, such as polyps or tumours.

Osmotic bowel preparations with Peglec Powder can cause serious side effects such as dehydration and changes in electrolytes in your blood. These changes can cause abnormal heartbeats, seizures and kidney problems. So it's recommended to use Peglec Powder only when prescribed by a doctor.

Colonoscopy: It is used to examine the lining of the large intestine and rectum.
Barium enema X-ray exam: It is a diagnostic imaging test that uses X-rays and a contrast material to produce images of the large intestine.

How Peglec Pineapple Or Orange Flavour Powder 137.15gm Works?

PEG 4000 in Peglec Powder is a type of water-soluble polymer that is not absorbed into the body and passes through the gastrointestinal tract without breaking down. It has a high molecular weight, which means the body does not easily absorb it and remains in the bowel, where it helps to draw water into the colon and soften stool, making it easier to pass.
Sodium chloride in Peglec Powder is a type of salt that helps to maintain fluid balance in the body. It works by attracting water to the bowel, which helps to soften stool and make it easier to pass.
Sodium bicarbonate in Peglec Powder is an alkaline compound that helps to neutralise stomach acid and maintain a proper pH balance in the bowel.
Potassium chloride in Peglec Powder is an essential mineral that helps to regulate fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
Anhydrous sodium sulphate in Peglec Powder helps mask the salty and unpleasant taste of the other ingredients in the medication. It can make it easier for patients to consume the medication as directed.
