About Junior Cipeg Powder for Oral Solution

POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL belongs to the group of medicines called osmotic laxatives 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, which causes the incomplete elimination of stools from the body.

POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL contains ‘Polyethylene glycol’, which causes the water to retain in the stools, thereby stimulates bowel movement. It increases the number of bowel movements, softens the stools and makes it easier to pass. Thereby, POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL helps in providing relief from constipation.
