Rechelist Pharma – Poly Ethylene Glycol 3350 Powder Oral Solution (RECHPEG)
RECHPEG by Rechelist Pharma is a high-quality Poly Ethylene Glycol 3350 (PEG 3350) Powder for Oral Solution designed to provide effective and gentle relief from constipation. It is widely trusted by healthcare professionals for its safety profile, predictable action, and suitability for both short-term and chronic constipation management.
Composition
Each sachet of RECHPEG contains:
- Poly Ethylene Glycol 3350 IP – 17 grams (or as prescribed)
- Excipients – Quantity sufficient
Pharma Franchise Poly Ethylene Glycol 3350 Powder Oral Solution is an osmotic laxative that works by retaining water in the stool, thereby softening it and increasing bowel movement frequency without causing harsh intestinal irritation.
How It Works
Poly Ethylene Glycol 3350 is a non-absorbable compound. After oral administration:
- It passes through the stomach and small intestine without being digested.
- It draws water into the colon through osmotic action.
- The added water softens the stool.
- Softened stool becomes easier to pass naturally.
Unlike stimulant laxatives, PCD Pharma Franchise Poly Ethylene Glycol 3350 Powder Oral Solution does not directly stimulate bowel nerves. Instead, it works gently by improving stool consistency.
