About Ezepeg Powder

Ezepeg Powder is used to treat occasional constipation. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, hard and painful to pass. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, leading to incomplete elimination of stools from the body.

Ezepeg Powder contains Polyethene glycol, which causes the water to be retained in the stools, thereby stimulating bowel movement.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as bloating, gas, nausea, and abdominal pain/cramps. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Ezepeg Powder . Do not take Ezepeg Powder for more than a week unless advised by the physician. Talk to your doctor if you notice any sudden changes in your bowel habits that persist for more than 2 weeks. Consult your doctor before taking Ezepeg Powder if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Diet:

  • To enhance bowel movements and support polyethene glycol's action in alleviating constipation, include fruits (such as papaya and apples), vegetables, whole grains, and pulses.
  • To avoid dehydration and support the medication's effectiveness, consume enough liquids, such as water, soups, and fresh juices.
  • Avoid junk food, refined wheat, fried foods, and too much dairy as they might exacerbate constipation and lessen the advantages of treatment.

Lifestyle changes:

  • To enhance bowel function, try to go to the toilet at the same time every day and don't ignore the urge to defecate.
  • To promote digestion and prevent constipation, engage in regular activities such as yoga, walking, or mild exercise.
