Movicol Ease 20 Sachet 13.7g Powder For Oral Solution When your digestive system feels like it’s come to a standstill, you need a solution that is effective without being aggressive. Movicol 13.7g Sachets are a widely recommended treatment for chronic constipation. By using an osmotic approach, it ensures that your relief is smooth and manageable, rather than sudden and uncomfortable. The Science of Osmotic Action Movicol isn't a "quick-fix" stimulant; it’s a smarter way to get things moving. It utilizes a key ingredient called Macrogol 3350 to restore your natural rhythm: Water Retention: Macrogol 3350 binds to water. When you drink the solution, the Macrogol carries that water all the way through your digestive tract to the stool. Stool Softening: The extra water softens the stool and increases its volume, which naturally triggers the bowel to move. Electrolyte Balance: One of the standout features of Movicol is its inclusion of essential electrolytes (sodium and potassium). This ensures that while the laxative is working, your body maintains its natural salt and water balance, reducing the risk of dehydration or fatigue. Why Choose Movicol? Predictable Relief: Because it works with the water in your body, it typically produces a bowel movement within 1 to 2 days, allowing for a more controlled routine. Gentle on the System: It is less likely to cause the painful cramping or "griping" often associated with other types of laxatives. Versatile Treatment: Highly effective for both occasional "backup" and more severe cases of faecal impaction (under medical supervision). Easy to Prepare: The powder dissolves easily in water to create a clear or slightly cloudy oral solution. How to Use Dissolve the contents of one sachet in 125ml (about half a glass) of water. Stir well until the powder has dissolved and drink immediately. For constipation, the standard dose is usually 1–3 sachets daily in divided doses, depending on the severity.
