About Pegalup Oral Solution

Pegalup Oral Solution belongs to the class of medicines called stimulant laxatives used to cleanse the colon before a colonoscopy or barium enema (an x-ray test that determines abnormalities in the colon). Colonoscopy or barium enema is a procedure that involves inserting a flexible fibre-optic device into the anus to inspect the colon for identifying the extent of various diseases present in the large intestine or colon.

Pegalup Oral Solution contains Polyethylene glycol 3350, Sodium chloride, Sodium hydrogen carbonate, and Potassium chloride. Together, these salts increase the water content in the intestine and stimulate bowel movement. Thereby, Pegalup Oral Solution  helps to cleanse the large intestine so that the colonoscopy can be performed comfortably. Pegalup Oral Solution is rich in mineral salts that replaces lost electrolytes and prevent dehydration.

Take Pegalup Oral Solution exactly as directed. Certain typical side effects, such as diarrhoea, gastrointestinal pain/cramps, and abdominal discomfort, may occur in some circumstances. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and will subside gradually over time. However, if you are experiencing these side effects regularly, you should consult your doctor.

Consult your doctor before taking Pegalup Oral Solution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Let your doctor know if you have gastrointestinal obstruction, bowel perforation, and gastric retention. Drink plenty of fluids whilst taking Pegalup Oral Solution to prevent dehydration. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take to rule out any side effects.
