lavage.
Composition: Each Sachet of 137.15g contains
Polyethylene Glycol
118 g
Sodium Chloride
2.93 g
Potassium Chloride
1.484 g
Sodium Bicarbonate
3.37 g

Mode of action:
When sufficient volume of PEG is taken, it leads to an increase
in volume in the colon. This distends the colon and there by
stretch the receptors resulting in increased peristaltic movements.
This products voluminous liquid stool.
The Sodium Chloride, Sodium Sulphate, Pottassium Chloride
and Sodium Bicarbonate salts prevents both loss and net absorption
of ions from the body.
Indication: For bowel cleaning prior to colonscopy, certain X-ray
examination and also in gut preparation prior to colorectal
Surgery and Hysteretomy.
Dosage: The recommended dosage is 1-2 litres of dissolved of Peglec.
In case of colonscopic examination Peglec should be administered
four hours before the colonscopy. Peglec administration can
be started 3 hours or more after lunch in the previous day,
before surgery.
Preparation and Administration Method: One pack of Peglec must be dissolved in water completely
to make 2 litres. Pour into a cup (approx. 200ml) the dissolved
solution and administer 5 cups in 1 hour. It is necessary
that the total time take for consuming 2 litres of Peglec
solution should not exceed 2 hours.
The first bowel movement should occur approximately 1 hour
after the start of Peglec administration. And then, as evacuation
occurs several times, keep administering the remaining Peglec
solution until rectal effluent is clear. Lavage is usually
complete after the intake of 1½ litres.
