More on Polyethylene Glycols Definition: Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.      Other names Tritons; Polyoxyethylenes; Macrogols; Polyoxyethylene; Polyethyleneoxides; Polyethylene Oxides; PEO 400; Oxides, Polyethylene; Oxide, Polyethylene; Miralaxs; Macrogol; Lauromacrogol; Glycols, Polyethylene; Glycol, Polyethylene; Glycol 6000, Polyethylene; Glycol 4000, Polyethylene; Glycol 400, Polyethylene; Glycol 2000, Polyethylene; Carbowax400; Carbowax 400 Drugs: PEG-LYTETRILYTE; COLYTE-FLAVORED; E-Z-EM PREP LYTE; GLYCOLAX; COLYTE WITH FLAVOR PACKS; POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL 3350; COLOVAGE;
