Movicol
Movicol Provides Effective Relief from Constipation
Movicol helps you to have a comfortable bowel movement even if you have been constipated for a long time.
Movicol is for the treatment of chronic constipation and faecal impaction in patients 12 years old and over.
Before you take Movicol: Do not take Movicol 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.
- An allergy to Macrogol.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding talk to your doctor first before using Movicol.
Laxative products such as Movicol have the potential to interact with other medications, by altering their absorption. Close monitoring of the effects of your medication may be necessary when you commence or cease to take Movicol regularly. It is important that you should discuss this with your doctor.
Movicol Directions: Always read the enclosed instructions supplied with each pack of Movicol first. Constipation: Take 1 sachet in a glass of water and take daily. May be increased to 2 or 3 sachets daily if necessary. Faecal impaction: The dose is 8 sachets per day taken within a 6 hour time period. You may need to take this dose for up to 3 days. If you have a heart condition do NOT take more than 2 sachets in any one hour. Open the sachet and put the powder into a glass which is half full of water (about 125ml). Stir well until the water is clear again then drink it. If you like, you can add a flavour such as orange squash to the drink. If you are taking Movicol for faecal impaction, it may be easier to dissolve 8 sachets in 1 litre of water. Once you have made up Movicol in water put it in fridge (2-8 Degrees C) and keep it covered. Any Movicol solution not used within 6 hours should be disposed of. Keep all medicines away from children,
