This medicine is suitable for adults and children who weigh over 30 pounds, including children under five.

What is the Mechanism of Action of Laxopeg Powder?

The laxative action of this powder comes from its combination of two water-soluble ingredients. One component is colloidally soluble polymer crosslinked to 1% allyl sucrose for colloidal solubility and cross-linkage.

Polymers such as these increase the viscosity of the liquid, making peristaltic action of intestinal muscles easier and helping retain fluid in the intestinal canal. Furthermore, this increase in density also keeps fluid at its source in the intestinal canal.

This effect is particularly notable in formulations containing sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate. When mixed with water in appropriate proportions, their solution remains in the intestinal tract for extended periods, thus prolonging efficacy of medication.

How does Laxopeg Powder work?

Laxopeg Powder is an osmotic laxative that holds water in the intestines to soften stool and increase the frequency of bowel movements. This medication may also be effective against irritable bowel syndrome - a condition in which hard stools make passage difficult or impossible - by increasing stool softening properties and improving selection frequency.

Medication should be taken orally once daily and tailored according to your age and medical condition. For optimal effectiveness, take it regularly without stopping without consulting your physician first.

For oral use, measure each dose of Laxopeg Powder according to the instructions on its product packaging. Dissolve this amount in 8 ounces/240 milliliters of liquid (8 ounces/240 milliliters). Stir thoroughly before drinking; if the powder forms a thick solution, add water or liquid until desired results have been reached.
