Description
GENOLAX PEG is a specialized osmotic laxative formulation that works by drawing water into the intestines, which helps soften stools and facilitates smoother, more comfortable bowel movements. The combination of Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (PEG-3350) with electrolytes (Sodium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Potassium Chloride) is designed to restore the body’s natural balance and improve the function of the digestive system.
Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (13.125g): PEG 3350 is an osmotic laxative that helps to retain water in the stool, softening it and making it easier to pass. This is the main active ingredient responsible for improving stool consistency and bowel movement frequency in individuals suffering from constipation.
Sodium Chloride (0.3507g): This electrolyte helps to maintain the correct balance of fluids and electrolytes in the intestines, ensuring the proper function of the laxative and enhancing stool softness.
Sodium Bicarbonate (0.1785g): Sodium bicarbonate acts as a buffering agent, helping to balance the acidity in the gastrointestinal tract, which can aid in preventing any discomfort during bowel movements.
Potassium Chloride (0.0466g): Potassium chloride helps to replenish potassium levels, which may be affected during bowel movements or laxative use, ensuring proper muscle and nerve function in the digestive system.
GENOLAX PEG is typically used for the short-term relief of chronic constipation or for bowel cleansing before medical procedures such as a colonoscopy. It promotes regular bowel movements and improves stool consistency without causing dependency.
