Manevac Granules - 250g

Manevac® Granules 250g is a bulk-forming fibre laxative used for the relief of constipation and to help maintain regular bowel function.

It contains sterculia gum, a natural vegetable fibre that absorbs water in the gut to increase stool bulk. This helps stools pass through the bowel more easily and gently, supporting the body’s normal bowel movement without stimulating the bowel.

Manevac® is particularly suitable for people who require a gentle, non-habit-forming laxative, including those with long-term constipation, reduced mobility, or where straining should be avoided. It may also be used to help maintain regularity as part of a high-fibre diet.

The granule formulation can be mixed with food or liquid, making it a flexible option for adults and older children when used as directed.
