About Pegqwik Oral Laxative Liquid

Pegqwik Oral Laxative Liquid 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.

Pegqwik Oral Laxative Liquid 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, Pegqwik Oral Laxative Liquid helps provide relief from constipation.

Take Pegqwik Oral Laxative Liquid 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.

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