Pegura Powder 17gm

Pegura Powder 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.

Pegura Powder contains polyethylene glycol, which causes the water to be retained in the stools, thereby stimulating bowel movement.

Pegura Powder 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 Pegura Powder. Do not take Pegura Powder for more than a week unless advised by the physician, as it might cause dependency on Pegura Powder 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 Pegura Powder if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. 

Pegura Powder is used in the treatment of constipation. The detailed uses of Pegura Powder are as follows: 

• Treatment of occasional constipation: Pegura Powder softens the stool by drawing water into the intestines, promoting regular bowel movements.

• Bowel preparation before procedures: It is commonly used to clear the gut before diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.
