polyethylene glycol 3350 (Puremed Biotech)

Megalex-PEG Syrup is a veterinary pharmaceutical product developed by Pure Med Farma, primarily used as an osmotic laxative for the treatment of constipation and fecal impaction in livestock and other animals. The active ingredient, polyethylene glycol (PEG), typically in the PEG 3350 form, works by creating an osmotic gradient that draws water into the intestinal lumen. This process increases the volume and moisture content of the stool, stimulating peristalsis and easing evacuation. Unlike stimulant laxatives, PEG is not absorbed by the intestinal mucosa, making it a preferred option for managing gastrointestinal blockages in veterinary medicine without causing systemic side effects or electrolyte imbalances.
