Description
PediaPEG
dust
Description
Class IIa Medical Device (Directive 93/42/EEC).
With a laxative action that, through an osmotic action, regulates the intestine in a natural way. It is not absorbed or fermented in the intestine, does not irritate the mucosa and is eliminated in the feces in an unchanged form.
PediaPEG is particularly indicated in chronic constipation and in cases of occasionally irregular bowel movements. Thanks to its affinity for water, PediaPEG softens the stool, facilitating evacuation without causing cramps or abdominal pain, or conditions of urgency. Its effectiveness does not decrease over time.
Gluten and lactose free.
