Peglec Sachet Powder

Peglec Sachet Powder is a bowel-cleansing laxative preparation made with polyethylene glycol plus electrolytes: potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, and sodium sulphate. Each Peglec Sachet Powder pack contains the ingredients listed on the label in powder form for reconstitution before use. It is used to help clear the bowel, most often before procedures such as colonoscopy or other examinations when a clean bowel is needed.

How it works: When mixed with water, the polyethylene glycol helps hold water in the bowel so stool becomes soft and easier to pass. The added electrolytes in Peglec Sachet Powder help replace salts and reduce large fluid shifts while the bowel is being cleaned out.

Peglec Sachet Powder is a pre-measured powder sachet, so it is meant to be mixed with water before drinking rather than swallowed dry. Because there are no other Peglec strengths or forms listed here, this product is used exactly as supplied on the label and is suitable for doctor-directed bowel preparation rather than everyday constipation relief.

• Bowel cleansing before colonoscopy
• Bowel preparation before intestinal procedures
• Clearing the bowel when a complete emptying is needed
• Doctor-directed colon cleanse

• Dissolve the full Peglec Sachet Powder contents in the amount of water directed on the label or by your doctor; do not swallow the dry powder.
• Drink the mixed solution exactly as prescribed, usually in divided doses rather than all at once.
• Take it at the time your clinician instructs, often the day before or the evening before a procedure.
• Follow the required clear-liquid diet and fasting instructions before and after taking Peglec Sachet Powder.
• Do not add flavoring, milk, or alcohol to the solution unless your prescriber says it is allowed.
• If you vomit, cannot finish the solution, or have no bowel movement as expected, contact your doctor or procedure center.

The dose for Peglec Sachet Powder is the full amount provided in each labeled sachet pack, prepared as directed; the exact number of sachets and timing depend on the bowel-prep regimen your doctor chooses. It may be taken as a split dose or in a one-day schedule, but the maximum per day must follow the prescriber’s instructions and the package directions for this specific product.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
