Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and Propylene Glycol (PG) drops work primarily by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis. PEG, a macrogol polymer, acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the stool, softening it, and increasing bowel movement frequency. PG, a smaller molecule, enhances the lubricating effect by drawing water into the intestinal lumen, further softening the stool and aiding in its passage through the digestive tract. This dual mechanism helps to relieve constipation by hydrating and softening the stool, making it easier to pass.
