I've been taking Gavilax Powder (Polyethylene Glycol 3350) for occasional constipation, and I've recently been worried about the potential severe side effects. I've read that it can cause things like rectal bleeding, severe dizziness, and even an allergic reaction. Has anyone else experienced any of these symptoms? I want to know if these are rare or if anyone else has had similar issues. It's also concerning to see that it can cause diarrhea, which seems counterproductive for a laxative. Has anyone reported these side effects to the FDA or their doctor? I'm really nervous about continuing this medication. Does anyone have any other recommendations or tips for managing constipation?
