Talk:Macrogol

message: Shouldn't the page redirect to polyethylene glycol (PEG)? Macrogol and PEG are as far as I know identical, they even use the same nomenclature. If there are no objections I'll replace the page with a redirect.

thread_title: Redirect to polyethylenglycol (PEG)?

message: "It is dissolved in a glass of water to create a clear, tasteless and odorless solution and is swallowed." - as someone who uses this on a daily basis, I'll have to disagree. It is indeed colorless when dissolved in water, but it has a nauseating aftertaste. Even when dissolved in orange juice (which I do now), it changes the flavor significantly (although it is much more tolerable).

replies: text: The statement by 87.127.152.41 is simply untrue. When sold as a laxative -- and that's the only reason to consume it daily -- it is pure, with no added salts -- 100% PEG-3350. Paleolith (talk) 23:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's not true. In the UK Laxido (for chronic constipation or faecal impaction) is macrogol 3350 + NaCl + NaBicarb + KCl. - Rod57 (talk) 20:58, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is true that pure polyethylene glycol is entirely tasteless. The unpleasant taste in UK Laxido is due to the added salts, not the PEG-3350. Golytely (PEG with electrolyte solution) also contains added salts, and is well known to have a taste (generally regarded as an unpleasant taste). Rytyho usa (talk) 04:07, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Tasteless?

message: I modified the "available forms" paragraph to clarify that PEG as a laxative is pure, and that salts and other electrolytes are only added to the forms intended for purging. I don't claim to have done a very good job, and certainly did not add any references. But the previous version was so blatantly wrong that I felt I had to do something.

replies: text: That's not true. In the UK Laxido (for chronic constipation or faecal impaction) is macrogol 3350 + NaCl + NaBicarb + KCl. I will amend the paragraph. If anyone can indicate other trade formulations that do or do not have added salts that might be helpful. - Rod57 (talk) 21:13, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
