Introduction:
Movicol powder is a laxative for the treatment of constipation. It helps you to have a comfortable bowel movement even if you have been constipated for a long time. It also works in very bad constipation called faecal impaction.
Macrogol used to treat a buildup of hard faeces in bowel which may be a result of long-term constipation (faecal impaction). It makes your faeces softer and easier to pass, giving you relief from constipation. The electrolytes help to maintain your body’s normal levels of sodium, potassium and water while you are being treated for constipation. Mix with water to make a drink, a ready-mixed solution to drink, or a liquid that you need to dilute before drinking.
