About Laxopeg Powder

Laxopeg Powder is used to treat occasional constipation in children. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, hard and painful to pass.

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

Laxopeg Powder may cause side effects like bloating, gas, nausea, and abdominal pain/cramps. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, talk to your doctor if your child experiences these side effects persistently.

Before giving Laxopeg Powder to your child, inform your doctor if your child is allergic to any of the components in Laxopeg Powder . To rule out any side effects or interactions, keep your doctor informed about any other medications your child is taking, including OTC (over-the-counter) medicines, vitamins, or herbal supplements.
