Frequently asked questions

Movicol Paediatric Chocolate Flavour is an oral osmotic laxative indicated for the treatment of constipation in children, including functional constipation, by softening stool and promoting regular bowel movements.
How does polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes work?+
The polyethylene glycol 3350 component creates an osmotic gradient that retains water in the intestinal lumen, while the added electrolytes help maintain fluid balance. This combination softens feces and increases stool volume, facilitating easier passage.
