Product introduction

Pegsure Sachet Orange is used in the treatment of constipation. It also helps in cleaning and preparation of intestines prior to medical procedures or examinations. This medicine works by drawing water into the intestine thereby makes the stool soft and easier to pass.

Pegsure Sachet Orange should be taken in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit and try to take it at the same time(s) each day. Your dose may go up or down depending on how well it’s working. Don’t take more than you’re advised to and, if you miss a dose, don’t take an extra one to make up for it. Pegsure Sachet Orange takes at least 48 hours to work. Talk to your doctor if you’re still constipated after three days.

The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea and stomach pain. You can help avoid the side effects by drinking plenty of fluids, taking your medicine between meals. Talk to your doctor straight away if you notice any of these.

Before taking Pegsure Sachet Orange, you should tell your doctor if you have diabetes or if you’re unable to digest milk sugar (lactose intolerant). If you use this medicine over a long period of time, your doctor may want you to have occasional blood tests to check the mineral levels (e.g. potassium and sodium). Don’t take other laxative medicines while taking this medicine and check with your doctor if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.

In Constipation

In Intestine preparation before any surgery

If you do not follow the instructions you are given, the operation or procedure may be canceled.
