About Laxopeg Sachet
Laxopeg Sachet is used to treat occasional constipation. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of stools from the body.
Laxopeg Sachet contains polyethylene glycol, which causes the water to be retained in the stools, thereby stimulating bowel movement.
Laxopeg Sachet may cause 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, 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, as it might cause dependency on Laxopeg Sachet 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 Laxopeg Sachet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
