Product introduction

Plugo Tablet may be taken with or without food, usually once a day or as instructed by your doctor. It can be taken at any time of the day. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated throughout the day to help facilitate bowel movements and enhance the medicine’s effectiveness. Maintaining a fiber-rich diet and staying physically active can further support digestive health and alleviate constipation.


Diarrhea is the most common side of Plugo Tablet. If you experience diarrhea, reduce your dosage only under your doctor’s guidance, and stay hydrated to prevent dehydration. If it persists or worsens, contact your doctor for advice. Do not take more than the prescribed dosage, as taking more can increase the risk of side effects.


Avoid taking Plugo Tablet if you currently have severe diarrhea, as it may worsen your symptoms. Let your doctor know if you have any other gastrointestinal problems to ensure this medicine is safe for you. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss the risks and benefits of the medicine with their doctor before taking it.

Benefits of Plugo Tablet

Treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome
In individuals with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), Plugo Tablet helps relieve underlying symptoms of irregularity, abdominal discomfort, and bloating. It helps increase fluid secretion in the intestines, soften stool, and encourage regular bowel movements, reducing the discomfort and bloating common in IBS. This eases the straining and cramping associated with constipation, promoting a smoother and more predictable digestive process. This way, it improves the overall gut health and quality of life of individuals with IBS-C.
Treatment of Constipation
In individuals with long-term (chronic) constipation with an unknown cause, Plugo Tablet helps relieve long-standing constipation by increasing intestinal fluid. Increasing intestinal fluid naturally softens the stool and supports more effortless bowel movements. This results in more frequent, comfortable bowel movements and less bloating or discomfort. With regular use, Plugo Tablet helps maintain a more natural digestive rhythm, making it a valuable option for individuals managing chronic constipation.

How to use Plugo Tablet

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Plugo Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Plugo Tablet works

Plugo Tablet works by imitating a natural substance in the body called uroguanylin, which increases the amount of water and salt moving into the intestines, which helps soften the stool and makes it easier to pass. It also promotes regular muscle movement in the intestines, helping to move stool along more comfortably and preventing constipation.

Quick tips

  • Take Plugo Tablet simultaneously each day to maintain consistent levels in your system. This can improve its effectiveness in managing symptoms.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help prevent dehydration, especially if you experience diarrhea. This will support the medicine’s ability to improve bowel movements.
  • While some may see improvement within a few days, others may take longer. Continue taking the medicine and consult your doctor if there is no improvement after a few weeks.
  • Include more fiber in your diet, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. This can further aid digestion and support regular bowel movements.
  • In addition to taking the medicine, regular physical activity can help improve digestion and reduce constipation symptoms.
