Kidzpeg Powder belongs to the group of medicines called osmotic laxatives, 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, which causes the incomplete elimination of stools from the body.

Kidzpeg Powder contains ‘Polyethene glycol’, which causes the water to be retained in the stools, thereby stimulating bowel movement. It increases the number of bowel movements, softens the stools and makes it easier to pass. Therefore, Kidzpeg Powder helps provide relief from constipation.

Take Kidzpeg Powder as advised. 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 and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult a doctor before giving Kidzpeg Powder to children. Do not take Kidzpeg Powder for more than a week unless advised by the physician, as it might cause dependency on Kidzpeg Powder for a bowel movement. Talk to your doctor if you notice any sudden changes in bowel habits that persist for over two weeks. Consult your doctor before taking Kidzpeg Powder if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. 

• Kidzpeg Powder can be taken with or without food, as advised by your doctor.
