How does macrogol 3350 work in this product?+
Macrogol 3350, also known as polyethylene glycol, creates an osmotic gradient that pulls water from the surrounding tissues into the intestinal tract. This increased water content softens the stool, making it easier to pass, while the added electrolytes help maintain normal fluid balance.
What is the usual dose of Movicolon Junior Naturel?+
The appropriate dose of Movicolon Junior Naturel is determined by a qualified prescriber based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Healthcare professionals tailor the amount to achieve effective relief while minimizing the risk of side effects.
