About Laxopeg FC Oral Solution

Laxopeg FC Oral Solution 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.

Laxopeg FC Oral Solution 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.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Laxopeg FC Oral Solution . Do not take Laxopeg FC Oral Solution for more than a week unless advised by the physician. Talk to your doctor if you notice any sudden changes in your bowel habits that persist for more than 2 weeks. Consult your doctor before taking Laxopeg FC Oral Solution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
