Movicol Sachet 13.81gm

Movicol powder for oral solution is used to treat constipation and impacted stools by softening the stool and increasing bowel movements, making it easier to pass. It is commonly prescribed for both short-term and chronic constipation in adults and children. It can also be used before certain medical procedures. In some cases, Movicol helps manage faecal impaction, a severe form of constipation where stool becomes stuck in the rectum.

Movicol Sachet is taken orally, which means you need to swallow it. It should not be applied topically or taken in any other way.

The active ingredients in Movicol Sachet are polyethene glycol (macrogol 3350), potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium chloride.

• Polyethylene glycol (macrogol 3350) draws water into the intestine, softening the stools for easier passage.
• Potassium chloride supports healthy organ functioning.
• Sodium bicarbonate helps suppress high levels of stomach acid and provides relief from acidity and heartburn.
• Sodium chloride helps maintain sodium levels in the body.

These ingredients work together to form an 'iso-osmotic' solution that has the same concentration as bodily fluids.

This solution brings water to the hard, dry stool and acts locally in the colon to relieve constipation. It triggers colonic activity, promotes a natural bowel movement, and has a lubricating effect, making the bowel movement more comfortable.

Importantly, Movicol Sachet does not compromise the water or electrolyte content in the body.
