Used For:

• PEG is commonly used in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. It serves as a laxative in higher doses (e.g., PEG 3350) to treat constipation by drawing water into the colon.
• It is also used as an excipient (inactive ingredient) in oral medications, ointments, creams, and eye drops to help deliver the active ingredients.
• It is utilized in some medical applications like bowel preparation before surgeries or diagnostic procedures.
• Propylene Glycol is used as a humectant, solvent, and emollient in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products. In medicines, it helps dissolve active ingredients, allowing them to be absorbed more easily.
• It’s also found in topical formulations like creams, lotions, and ointments.
• In some medications, it acts as a preservative and is used in inhalers or vapor products.

Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects: Bloating, cramping, and diarrhea when used as a laxative.
• Serious Side Effects: Rare, but can include dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or allergic reactions such as rashes or itching.

Precautions:

• Kidney Function: In individuals with kidney problems, PEG should be used cautiously, as it may cause complications with electrolyte balance.
• Chronic Use: Prolonged or excessive use as a laxative can lead to dependency or long-term gastrointestinal issues.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: PEG is generally considered safe for short-term use in pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it’s important to consult a healthcare provider.
