PEGOVAG C 1BOTTLE

About

This product contains Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), an effective osmotic laxative primarily utilized for the gentle yet potent treatment of constipation. PEG works by drawing and retaining a significant amount of water within the intestinal lumen. This mechanism dramatically increases the water content of the stool, which in turn softens it considerably, making it much easier and more comfortable to pass. Concurrently, the increased bulk of the stool gently stimulates the natural peristaltic movements of the bowel, facilitating regular and complete evacuation. It is a well-tolerated laxative that does not cause chemical stimulation of the bowel, distinguishing it from stimulant laxatives. This characteristic makes it suitable for both short-term relief and the long-term management of chronic constipation without the risk of dependency or significant electrolyte imbalances, promoting consistent bowel regularity.
