General Product Description

Movicol contains macrogol 3350 + electrolytes for effective relief from constipation and treatment of chronic constipation; treatment of medically diagnosed faecal impaction

 


Macrogol is a PEG -high molecular weight polymer which is non-toxic, pharmacologically inert, and virtually unabsorbed. The macrogol attracts and holds water in the bowel for effective stool softening. The electrolytes in Movicol help mitigate the possibility of electrolyte imbalance and dehydration.

 


Movicol has a 4 in 1 action
1. Hydrates and bulks
2. Softens
3. Triggers natural movement in the bowel
4. Lubricates the stool

 

Key Features

  • Gentle effective relief from constipation
  • Free from lactose, gluten and sucrose
  • Restores helathy bowel movements
  • Easy to prepare and use
  • Prepared solution can be stored in the fridge for 6 hours reducing wastage

 

Directions for Use

Adults and Children over 12 years: 

  1. Open the sachet and pour the contents into a glass.
  2. Add 125 mL of water into the glass.
  3. Stir well until all the powder has dissolved and the Movicol Lemon-Lime solution is clear or slightly hazy, then drink it. If you like, you can add a flavour such as orange cordial to the drink 

 

Warnings

Always read and follow the directions for use

Do not take MOVICOL Lemon-Lime if your doctor has told you that you have:

  • an obstruction in your intestine (gut)
  • a perforated gut wall
  • severe inflammatory bowel disease, like ulcerative colitis, Crohn‘s disease, or toxic megacolon
  • paralysis of the bowel
  • an allergy to macrogol or any of the ingredients.

The fluid content of Movicol when re-constituted with water does not replace regular fluid intake and adequate fluid intake must be maintained. Laxative products such as Movicol have the potential to interact with other medications, by altering their absorption. Close monitoring of the effects of the medications may be necessary when patient starts or stops taking Movicol regularly. It is important that the patient should discuss this with the doctor. If the patient is pregnant talk to the doctor before taking Movicol. If the patient needs to thicken fluids in order to swallow them safely, Movicol may counteract the effect of the thickener.
