General Product Description

Macrogol is a PEG -high molecular weight polymer which is non-toxic, pharmacologically inert, and virtually unabsorbed. The macrogol attracts and holds water in the bowel for effective stool softening. The electrolytes in MOVICOL help mitigate the possibility of electrolyte imbalance and dehydration.

 

Key Features

  • Helps to soften and lubricate stools
  • Triggers natural movement in the bowel
  • Is lactose free, gluten free, sucrose free
  • Suitable for Children 2 years and up

 

Directions for Use

  1. Open the sachet and pour the contents into a glass. 
  2. Add 62.5 mL of water into the glass. 
  3. Stir well until all the powder has dissolved and the MOVICOL Junior Lemon-Lime solution is clear or slightly hazy, then drink it. If you like, you can add a flavour such as orange cordial to the drink

 

Warnings

Always read and follow the directions for use

Do not take MOVICOL Junior Lemon-Lime 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
  • paralysis of the bowel 
  • an allergy to macrogol or any of the ingredients. MOVICOL Junior Lemon-Lime is for use in children aged 2 years and over.

The fluid content of MOVICOL when re-constituted with water does not replace regular fluid intake and adequate fluid intake must be maintained. Laxative products such as Movicol have the potential to interact with other medications, by altering their absorption. Close monitoring of the effects of the medications may be necessary when patient starts or stops taking Movicol regularly. It is important that the patient should discuss this with the doctor. If the patient is pregnant talk to the doctor before taking Movicol. If the patient needs to thicken fluids in order to swallow them safely, Movicol may counteract the effect of the thickener.
