Product Overview
These Movicol Sachets are a treatment that works to relieve the effects of constipation. These sachets each contain 4 active ingredients that help to treat the condition.
Description
Movicol® Constipation Relief Chocolate Powder is an effective osmotic laxative used to relieve constipation by softening stools and helping restore regular bowel movements.
It contains macrogol (PEG 3350) with electrolytes, which works by retaining water in the stool, making it easier to pass without stimulating the bowel. This gentle mechanism makes Movicol® suitable for people who require regular or longer-term constipation management, including those where straining should be avoided.
The pleasant chocolate flavour offers an alternative taste option, making it easier to take regularly. Each pack contains 30 sachets, suitable for short-term or ongoing use as advised.
