Description
Class IIa Medical Device (Directive 93/42/EEC).
With a laxative action that, through an osmotic action, naturally regulates the intestine. It is neither absorbed nor fermented in the intestine, does not irritate the mucous membrane and is eliminated in the feces in an unmodified form.
PediaPEG is particularly indicated for chronic constipation and in cases of occasionally irregular bowels. Thanks to its affinity for water, PediaPEG softens the stool, facilitating evacuation without causing cramps or abdominal pain, or urgent conditions. Its effectiveness does not diminish over time.
