Expert Advice

Polyethylene Glycol is used for the treatment of constipation.
It should preferably be taken at bedtime, as it requires 2-3 days to show effect.
It is usually taken once a day as needed for up to 2 weeks.
Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Some healthy tips to prevent constipation include:

Eat more fiber in your diet; the recommended daily intake is 20-35g.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day.
Exercise regularly, at least 3 times per week.
Do not hold in stool, as that can worsen bowel issues.

Take Polyethylene Glycol at least 2 hours after taking other medications, as it may interfere with their absorption.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach disorders, such as appendicitis or a blockage in your bowel.
