Friska PEG Care Syrup is an osmotic laxative with added electrolytes, specially formulated to treat constipation and to cleanse the bowel prior to medical procedures (like colonoscopy or surgery). It contains Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 3350/4000) along with essential electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, etc.) that help restore and maintain electrolyte balance while ensuring safe and effective relief from constipation.

This syrup works by retaining water in the stool, softening it, and increasing bowel movement frequency. The added electrolytes prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance during bowel cleansing.
