It is available in Canada without a prescription, has a well-established safety and efficacy profile, dissolves completely in any beverage and has no taste, no odour and no unpleasant gritty texture.

To enable accurate dosing, each container of Relaxa™ comes with an easy-to-use measuring scoop to help avoid spills and wastage. Relaxa™ is the only PEG 3350 product that comes with a measuring scoop.
