When prescribing Macrogol + Electrolytes Eg, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

- Assess renal function: ensure adequate kidney clearance before use. - Monitor electrolyte status: check serum sodium and potassium during prolonged therapy. - Use caution in bowel obstruction: avoid if mechanical blockage is suspected. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic signs appear. - Adjust dose in elderly: start with lower amounts to reduce risk of dehydration. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
