About Pegred Powder For Oral Solution

Pegred Powder For Oral Solution 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.

Pegred Powder For Oral Solution 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, Pegred Powder For Oral Solution helps provide relief from constipation.

Take Pegred Powder For Oral Solution as advised. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as bloating, gas, nausea, and abdominal pain/cramps.
