How Polyintest Oral Solution works

Polyintest Oral Solution contains potassium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and polyethylene glycol. Potassium chloride works by raising potassium levels in your blood. Sodium chloride is a purified salt solution which works by replenishing salt and electrolyte levels in the body. Sodium bicarbonate is an alkalizer. It works by increasing the pH of blood and urine, thereby correcting metabolic acidosis (high acid levels in the body). It also speeds up the removal of toxic substances from the body in certain types of poisoning. In case of excessive fluid loss (such as in diarrhea), it works by replenishing salt and electrolyte levels. Polyethylene glycol works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis, which makes the stool soft and easier to pass. It also helps clean out the intestines prior to medical procedures or examination.

Quick tips

Take Polyintest Oral Solution exactly as advised by your doctor, typically after dissolving the contents in the prescribed amount of water. Do not take it directly without mixing it with water, as it may irritate your stomach or cause an electrolyte imbalance.
Drink plenty of clear fluids (like water or clear soups) along with medicine to prevent dehydration and support the bowel cleansing or rehydration process, depending on the intended use.
Do not eat solid food for at least 2 hours before and after taking Polyintest Oral Solution, especially if it is being used for bowel preparation before a procedure like a colonoscopy.
Stop taking this medicine and contact your doctor if you feel bloated, nauseous, vomit persistently, or experience dizziness or irregular heartbeat. These may indicate fluid or electrolyte disturbances.
Mix Polyintest Oral Solution freshly each time and use immediately. Do not store any leftover prepared medicine, as it may lose its effectiveness or become unsafe to consume.

You must mix the Polyintest Oral Solution with lukewarm water to make 4 liters of clear solution.

The solution should never be taken as dry powder or mixed with flavored drinks unless advised by the doctor.

Can I take my regular medicines with this colon preparation Polyintest Oral Solution?
