PEG APIs to bring constipation relief in Laxative formulations

Gentle on the body, for better quality of life

Key benefits of PEG laxatives:
  • Absence of side effects compared with other types of osmotic laxatives such as lactulose
  • Gentle on the body - because the PEG is almost completely excreted, with very low levels of absorption by the digestive tract
  • Suitable for long-term use by children as young as two years old for special PEG laxatives
