Side Effects

No common side effects listed

D-Peg Plus Syrup contains potassium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and polyethylene glycol. Potassium chloride works by raising potassium levels in your blood. Sodium chloride is a purified salt solution which works by replenishing salt and electrolyte levels in the body. Sodium bicarbonate is an alkalizer. It works by increasing the pH of blood and urine thereby correcting metabolic acidosis (high acid levels in the body). It also speeds up the removal of toxic substances from the body in certain types of poisoning. In case of excessive fluid loss (such as in diarrhea) it works by replenishing salt and electrolyte levels. Polyethylene glycol works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis which makes the stool soft and easier to pass. It also helps clean out the intestines prior to medical procedures or examination.

Do not take D-Peg Plus Syrup if you have kidney, heart problems, high blood pressure or high blood potassium level. Take D-Peg Plus Syrup at least 2 hours after taking other medicines as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines. Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach disorders such as appendicitis or a blockage in your bowel. D-Peg Plus Syrup is usually taken once a day as needed for up to 2 weeks. Take it exactly as prescribed by the doctor.
