Introduction About ELECTRAPEG SACHET
Electrapeg Sachet is a bowel cleanser that is used to cleanse the bowel prior to colonoscopy, colorectal surgery and barium meal X-ray examination. It contains polyethylene glycol and electrolytes like sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium bicarbonate as active ingredients.
Polyethylene glycol is a powerful laxative. It softens the stools by drawing in more water from the intestines. This helps in emptying colourless, watery bowels. The electrolytes present in the medicine manages dehydration and other serious side effects that may be caused due to fluid loss as the colon is emptied.
Electrapeg Sachet should be used only under medical supervision. Empty the content of the sachet into the required amount of clean drinking water and stir well to dissolve it. Dilute the mixture as instructed in the product label and consume the medicine as instructed by your physician. The first bowel may occur approximately one hour after the prepared mixture is consumed. Before using Electrapeg Sachet inform your doctor if you have any gut problems as a precaution.
