About Flexipeg Sugar Free Liquid 200 ml

Flexipeg Sugar Free Liquid 200 ml is 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, leading to incomplete elimination of stools from the body.

Flexipeg Sugar Free Liquid 200 ml contains Polyethene glycol, which causes the water to be retained in the stools, thereby stimulating bowel movement.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as bloating, gas, nausea, and abdominal pain/cramps. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
