Gutwash Oral Solution is taken orally.

The Gutwash Oral Solution works through the combined action of its four active ingredients:

• Polyethylene Glycol (13.125 gm): This non-absorbable, non-metabolised osmotic agent retains water in the colon to soften stool and increase stool volume. Its high osmotic effect induces diarrhoea, which aids in clearing out the bowels.

• Sodium Chloride (0.3507 gm): Commonly known as table salt, sodium chloride maintains fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. It acts as an osmotic agent supporting polyethylene glycol's laxative effects.

• Sodium Bicarbonate (0.1785 gm): Also known as baking soda, sodium bicarbonate serves as a buffering agent that helps maintain the pH balance of the solution. It can enhance the palatability of Gutwash Oral Solution and reduce bloating and nausea associated with it.

• Potassium Chloride (0.0466 gm): This ingredient replenishes potassium losses that can occur due to diarrhoea during bowel preparation, ensuring proper muscle and nerve function.

• Store Gutwash Oral Solution at a controlled room temperature, not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the container tightly closed to prevent exposure to air and moisture.

• Once you've mixed it with water, remember it should be used within 48 hours.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Stay well hydrated before, during, and after taking Gutwash Oral Solution. This helps preserve your body's fluid balance while you're using the solution for bowel preparation.

• Follow a clear liquid diet on the day you're using Gutwash Oral Solution; avoid solid foods. This supports the effectiveness of the medicine in cleansing your bowels for medical procedures like colonoscopy.
