INTRODUCTION ABOUT PEGLEC PLUS SACHETPeglec Plus Sachet is indicated for bowel cleansing prior to colorectal surgery, colonoscopy and barium meal X-ray examination. It contains activated dimethicone, polyethylene glycol, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and sodium sulphate as active for gastrointestinal lavage.
