Ingredients and Materials
Active ingredient (per 13.8g sachet): Macrogol 3350 (polyethylene glycol) — osmotic laxative. Many formulations also include electrolytes (sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride) to help maintain fluid balance. Check the product carton or leaflet for the exact composition and full list of excipients.
How to Use
Mix the entire contents of one sachet into a glass of water (approximately 125–250 ml) and stir until fully dissolved. Drink immediately. Follow the directions on the product leaflet or the advice of your pharmacist or healthcare professional. Typical use for occasional constipation is one sachet daily, but dosing may vary depending on clinical need. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label unless advised by a healthcare professional.
Who It’s For
Purgolene is intended for adults and adolescents experiencing occasional constipation or irregular bowel movements who need a fast, gentle osmotic laxative. It is useful for people whose constipation is related to low fluid intake, diet changes, travel, or temporary disruption of routine. Not suitable for those with known bowel obstruction or certain gastrointestinal conditions — consult a healthcare professional if in doubt.
