PEDIAPEG 400 G

Description
Class IIa Medical Device (Directive 93/42/EEC).
It has a laxative effect that, through osmotic action, naturally regulates the intestines. It is neither absorbed nor fermented in the intestine, does not irritate the mucosa, and is eliminated unchanged in the stool.
PediaPEG is particularly indicated for chronic constipation and occasionally irregular bowel movements. Thanks to its affinity for water, PediaPEG softens stool, facilitating evacuation without causing cramps, abdominal pain, or urgency. Its effectiveness does not diminish over time.
Gluten and lactose free.

How to use
From 6 months to 2 years (up to 12 kg): 0.8 g of product per kg of body weight per day.

Over 11 years (or >20 kg): 10-30 g of product per day.
The dose may be increased or decreased depending on the individual's response to treatment. The most appropriate daily dosage for each age group should be determined based on the child's weight and the severity of constipation. In any case, it is advisable to consult a doctor for the most appropriate dosage. Use the product in pediatric children only after consulting a doctor. The maximum necessary dose does not normally exceed 30 g of product per day.
Based on the dosage, use the measuring cup with markings to measure 0.5 g (first mark), 1 g (second mark), and 2 g (level measuring spoon). Dissolve one level measuring spoon (equal to 2 g) in approximately 1/4 glass of water (about 25 ml). Drink the reconstituted solution. The daily dose can be divided into multiple administrations. The product can be reconstituted in advance in the appropriate volume of water and the solution stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 24 hours. It is recommended to take PediaPEG between meals.
