LaxaClear^® Polyethylene Glycol 3350 is used to treat occasional constipation. It works by holding water in the stool to soften the stool and increases the number of bowel movements. It is known as an osmotic-type laxative.

This medication is available without a prescription. If you are taking this medication for self-treatment, it is important to read the manufacturer’s package instructions carefully so you know when to consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Healthy bowel movements can range from three movements a day to three a week. Stools generally should be passed without excess effort, straining or discomfort. Constipation is the infrequent and/or difficult passage of stool. Because the function of the large intestine or colon is to absorb water, delayed movement through the colon leads to constipation with hardening of the stools and infrequent bowel movements. You should avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola drinks. These are diuretics, which eliminate water from your body and contribute to dehydration.
If more than three days pass without a bowel movement, the intestinal contents may harden to the point that the person may have difficulty during elimination. The feeling of incomplete evacuation or straining may also be reported as constipation.

Common causes of constipation include:

• Inadequate water intake
• Inadequate fiber in the diet
• A disruption of regular diet or routine; traveling
• Inadequate activity or exercise or immobility
• Eating large amounts of dairy products
• Stress
• Depression
• Eating disorders
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Pregnancy
Lack of good nerve and muscle function in the bowel may also be a cause of constipation.
