About Laxopeg Sachet

Laxopeg Sachet 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.

Laxopeg Sachet 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 Laxopeg Sachet. Do not take Laxopeg Sachet 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 Laxopeg Sachet 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.
  • Effectively manage stress and sleep by practising relaxation techniques and adhering to a healthy sleep schedule, as both can have an impact on bowel movements.

Health Queries

I have been suffering from constipation, stomach bloating, gas, and mild acidity for the past month. What medicines or remedies should I take for this?

Chandrakanta Jena

Since your symptoms have lasted a month, please consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions. For constipation, you can take an osmotic laxative like Polyethylene Glycol or a fibre supplement (Psyllium husk), and drink 8-10 glasses of water. For gas and bloating, over-the-counter Simethicone can help relieve trapped. For acidity, an H2 blocker like Famotidine or a mild antacid will help reduce stomach acid. Avoid carbonated drinks, chewing gum, and greasy foods. If you experience warning signs like severe abdominal pain, blood in your stool, or unexplained weight loss, please seek immediate medical attention.

My child has been suffering from constipation for a long time. She has been prescribed Laxopeg, but I feel she may have become dependent on it because she still has difficulty passing stool without the medicine. I have also been giving her a fiber-rich diet, but the problem continues. Could you please advise whether long-term use of Laxopeg is safe, what might be causing this persistent constipation, and what other treatments, dietary changes, or tests may help? I am really worried about her condition.

Laxopeg (polyethylene glycol) is safe for long-term pediatric use and does not cause physical dependency. It simply retains water in the stool. Persistent constipation despite high fiber is often due to behavioral withholding or inadequate water intake (fiber without water worsens constipation). Ensure she drinks plenty of fluids and establish a daily post-meal toilet routine. Please consult a pediatric gastroenterologist. They may suggest an abdominal X-ray to check for fecal impaction and safely adjust her Laxopeg dosage to fully clear the bowel.
