Potassium chloride
Sodium chloride
Sodium hydrogen carbonate

3 of the ingredients are salts that restore electrolytes that are lost as a result of constipation and macrogol 3350 is a laxative that helps to get the bowel moving again by increasing the amount of water in the bowel.

What is constipation?

Constipation means that you are unable to poo as often as usual or find that your poo is harder to pass than usual. When you have constipation, you may also experience other symptoms, like feeling sick, bloating, and wind. Some of the most common causes of constipation include:

Not eating enough fibre
A change in your diet
Not drinking enough fluids
Not being active enough, or not exercising
Ignoring the urge to go to the toilet
Some medications
Stress, anxiety, or depression

How will Movicol ease my constipation?

Movicol works by attracting more water into your bowel, softening any poo and bulking it up. When the poo becomes softer and expands, this stimulates the nerves in your bowel, causing contractions that help to move the poo through your bowel and out. This helps to ease constipation and faecal impaction gently and naturally.

Can I take this product if I’m taking other medication?

If you’re taking any other medication, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Movicol. This especially applies if you are taking anti-epileptics, as they may not work as effectively while you’re taking this product.
