We are in decades of pharmaceutical excellence

PEG APIs to bring constipation relief in Laxative formulations

Clariant's PEG-based laxative APIs work through an osmotic mechanism that retains water in the intestine, providing gentle, effective constipation relief. Our products offer significant advantages over alternative treatments: minimal absorption in the digestive tract, absence of side effects compared to lactulose, and suitability for long-term use—even in children as young as two years.

 

Key Advantages of Clariant PEG Laxative APIs:

  • Osmotic mechanism: Retains water in intestine for gentle, natural bowel movement
  • Minimal systemic absorption: PEG not absorbed in the digestive tract
  • No dependency: Suitable for long-term use unlike stimulant laxatives
  • Pediatric use: Clinically proven safe for children as young as 2 years
  • Fewer side effects: Better tolerated than lactulose (no bloating, cramping)
  • 30+ years expertise: Clariant's dedicated pharmaceutical PEG manufacturing
  • Full compliance: ICH Q7 GMP, Ph.Eur., USP-NF, JP monographs

PEG API as GMP-compliant demulcent for ophthalmic solutions

Clariant's Polyglykol 400 J serves as a premium demulcent API in eye drop formulations, forming a protective layer over the ocular surface to relieve inflammation and irritation. This high-quality PEG mimics natural mucins, providing essential lubrication and viscosity for patients suffering from dry eye conditions caused by contact lens wear, digital screen use, and environmental factors. Our product meets stringent microbiological specifications, including endotoxin testing.
