Frequently asked questions

What is Movicol Junior Aromafrei used for?+
Movicol Junior Aromafrei is an oral solution containing macrogol 3350 and electrolytes that is used to relieve constipation in children and adolescents. It works by softening stool and promoting regular bowel movements, making it suitable for functional or chronic constipation when dietary measures alone are insufficient.
How does macrogol 3350 work in this product?+
Macrogol 3350 is an osmotic agent that retains water within the intestinal lumen. By increasing the water content of the stool, it softens the fecal mass, expands its volume, and stimulates peristaltic activity, which together facilitate easier passage of stool without directly stimulating intestinal secretions.
What is the usual dose of Movicol Junior Aromafrei?+
The dose of Movicol Junior Aromafrei is individualized and set by a qualified prescriber based on the patient’s age, weight, severity of constipation, and clinical response. Caregivers should follow the healthcare professional’s instructions and not adjust the dose without medical advice.
Is Movicol Junior Aromafrei safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of Movicol Junior Aromafrei in pregnancy or lactation has not been fully established. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and this decision must be made by a healthcare professional after evaluating the clinical situation.

How does Movicol Junior Aromafrei compare with other laxatives?+

What are the most serious risks associated with Movicol Junior Aromafrei?+
Serious risks include severe electrolyte disturbances such as hyponatraemia or hyperkalaemia, marked dehydration, and rare allergic reactions that may present as rash, swelling or difficulty breathing. If any of these occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.
Who should not use Movicol Junior Aromafrei?+
Movicol Junior Aromafrei should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients, in those with intestinal obstruction or perforation, and in individuals with severe renal impairment unless specifically directed by a physician.
