Product Overview
Movicol is an osmotic laxative that works naturally, in harmony with your body, to relieve constipation - whether occasional or chronic, Movicol is not suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over, and comes in several formulations and flavours.
Description
Movicol® Powder Sachets Plain is an effective osmotic laxative used to relieve constipation and help restore regular bowel movements.
It contains macrogol (PEG 3350) with electrolytes, which works by holding 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 need gentle, non-habit-forming constipation relief, including for ongoing use when advised by a healthcare professional.
The plain, unflavoured formulation is ideal for those who prefer a neutral taste or have sensitivity to flavours. This pack contains 30 sachets, suitable for short-term or regular constipation management.
