How polyethylene glycol + ispaghula works
This is a combination of two medicines, polyethylene glycol and ispaghula. Polyethylene glycol works as an osmotic agent by holding water in the intestine, which softens stools and increases stool frequency. Ispaghula acts as a natural fiber that absorbs water, swells, and adds bulk to stools. Together, they improve stool consistency, stimulate bowel movements, and relieve constipation in a gentle, effective manner.
