Severe side effects are rare but can include severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or allergic reactions, which require immediate medical attention.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Peglec Powder, patients must consult their healthcare provider, especially if they have a history of gastrointestinal obstruction, bowel perforation, toxic megacolon, or severe inflammatory bowel disease. It is classified under Pregnancy Category C, so pregnant or nursing women should use it only if clearly needed and prescribed. Maintaining adequate hydration with clear fluids during the preparation process is critical to prevent dehydration.

Avoid Interactions

Peglec Powder can accelerate gastrointestinal transit, which may decrease the absorption of concurrently administered oral medications. Patients should avoid taking oral medications within one hour of starting the bowel preparation. It is important to inform the prescribing physician of all current medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and dietary supplements.
