Product Overview
Movicol Liquid is an orange flavoured laxative which can help to treat constipation. Just 1 – 3 doses a day can help you to have a comfortable bowel movement, easing even long-term constipation.
Description
Movicol® Liquid Orange Solution for Constipation 500ml is a gentle and effective osmotic laxative used to relieve constipation and help restore regular bowel movements.
It contains macrogol (PEG 3350) with electrolytes, which works by retaining water in the stool. This softens stools and makes them easier to pass without stimulating the bowel, helping to reduce straining and discomfort. Movicol® is suitable for people who require a non-habit-forming laxative, including for ongoing use when advised by a healthcare professional.
The ready-to-use liquid formulation offers flexible dosing and is ideal for those who prefer a liquid laxative or have difficulty dissolving sachets. The orange flavour improves palatability.
Key features:
- Gentle and effective constipation relief
- Softens stools without bowel stimulation
- Contains macrogol with electrolytes
- Ready-to-use liquid formulation
