MOVICOL® works naturally, in harmony with your body, to relieve constipation, whether occasional or chronic, MOVICOL® is suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over and comes in several formulations and flavors
Unlike some laxatives that work to cause bowel contractions through direct nerve stimulation, MOVICOL® has a natural mode of action that works gently, in harmony with your body in 4 steps.

  • MOVICOL® brings water to the hard, dry stool, and then acts locally in the colon to relieve constipation.
  • The water retained by MOVICOL® softens the stool and bulks it up slightly.
  • As the stool gently expands, it naturally triggers colonic activity and a bowel movement.
  • Because of the lubricating effect of MOVICOL® and the rehydrated, softened, stool – the bowel movement feels comfortable.

There’s no gain or loss in either water or electrolytes because when it’s mixed with water, MOVICOL® forms an ‘iso-osmotic’ solution – which is less likely to dehydrate the body. And once it’s worked to bring about a bowel movement, the active molecule, Macrogol 3350, is expelled from the body virtually unabsorbed.
Movicol can be taken during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
