Geri-Care Laxative Powder – PEG 3350 Osmotic Laxative (8.3 oz Bottle)
-
What It Is
Geri-Care Laxative Powder is an over-the-counter osmotic laxative whose active ingredient is Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (PEG 3350). The powder is designed to be dissolved in water or another beverage, making it easy and discreet to use. It’s intended to provide gentle, effective relief from occasional constipation or irregular bowel movements. -
How It Works & Key Benefits
Softens stool — easing passage: PEG 3350 draws water into the colon, increasing the water content of stool so it becomes softer — which helps prevent straining and discomfort when passing stool.
Promotes regular bowel movements: With regular use (once daily as directed), users can expect more predictable bowel movements within 1 to 3 days.
Gentle & stimulant-free: Unlike stimulant laxatives that can provoke cramping or urgency, PEG 3350 works by osmosis rather than irritating the intestines — reducing the risk of harsh side effects or dependency.
Easy to take: The tasteless, unscented powder dissolves in water, juice, tea, or other beverages — making it an easy, unobtrusive part of your daily routine.
Suitable for occasional constipation: Great for occasional bowel irregularity — such as from diet changes, travel, stress, or temporary digestive sluggishness.
Product Details
- Form: Powder for solution / oral laxative.
Active ingredient: PEG 3350, an osmotic laxative.
Volume: 8.3 oz (approx. 238 g) per bottle — enough for multiple doses depending on dosage and frequency.
Usage: Mix one suggested dose (per label instructions — typically 17 g) into 4–8 ounces (about 120–240 mL) of water, juice, or other beverage; stir until dissolved and drink. Usually taken once daily when needed.
Expected onset: Most users see results within 1–3 days after starting treatment.
Other features: Sugar-free, minimal taste, easy on the digestive system — a clean, simple option for occasional constipation relief. - Who It’s For
This laxative powder is a good choice for individuals who:
Suffer from occasional or mild constipation and want a gentle, effective solution.
Prefer a stimulant-free laxative that works naturally with your digestive system.
Want a clean, simple formula — no added sugars or unnecessary fillers.
Need an option that’s easy to incorporate into daily routines (just dissolve in a beverage).
Desire predictable, comfortable relief without harsh side effects like cramping or urgency (common with stronger stimulant laxatives). - What to Know (Use, Warnings & Considerations)
Because PEG 3350 works by increasing water content in stool, adequate hydration is important — drink plenty of fluids for best results.
Side-effects may include bloating, gas, cramping, or mild digestive discomfort — usually mild and temporary.
If constipation persists for more than a week, or if you experience severe symptoms (abdominal pain, blood in stool, severe diarrhea), discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Not recommended for people with bowel obstruction, certain digestive disorders, or known sensitivity to PEG.
Safe for occasional, short-term use; prolonged or repeated use should be under medical supervision.
