Movicol Sachets for Effective Relief from Constipation
1 Box of 20 Sachets of Movicol Retail Price $33 Used for constipation or faecal impaction, you need to take 1-3 sachets per day, according to individual response. The sachets dissolve in 125ml of water and then the solution is drunk. How does it work?Each sachet of this medicine contains macrogol (polyethlene glycol '3350'), which is a type of medicine known as an osmotic laxative. Each sachet also contains sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride. The contents of the sachets are mixed with water to make a drink.Macrogol is an inert substance that passes through the gut without being absorbed into the body. It relieves constipation because it causes the water it is taken with to be retained in the bowel instead of being absorbed into the body. This increases the water content and volume of the stools in the bowel, making them softer and easier to pass.The sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride (electrolytes) are included in this medicine to help ensure that the laxative works without causing the body to gain or lose significant amounts of sodium, potassium or water.This medicine is used to help people who have been constipated for a long time to have a comfortable bowel movement. It is also used to relieve more severe constipation known as faecal impaction. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister | ||||||||||||
