Flexipeg Suspension belongs to a class of drugs called laxatives used to treat constipation. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass.
Flexipeg Suspension is a combination of four drugs, namely Polyethylene glycol, Potassium chloride, Sodium bicarbonate, and Sodium chloride. Polyethylene glycol draws water into the intestine and softens stools, making them easier to pass. Potassium chloride is essential for healthy organ functioning. Sodium bicarbonate works by suppressing high levels of acid in the stomach and helps to treat acidity and heartburn. Sodium chloride maintains sodium levels in the body. Together, Flexipeg Suspension helps in relieving constipation.
