Caution:

• 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.

Benefits

Contains macrogol 3350 plus electrolytes (salts) (sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium bicarbonate) which prevents the net loss or gain of water and electrolytes in the body. Improved stool consistency and lubrication. Suitable for lactose or gluten intolerant people and diabetics.

How it works

The solution containing water and electrolytes is absorbed by the stool to soften and lubricates the stools. Movicol junior sachets create an iso osmotic solution ensuring water balance.
