Frequently asked questions

What is Movicol Junior Nøytral Smak used for?+
Movicol Junior Nøytral Smak is an oral solution containing macrogol 3350 and electrolytes that is used to relieve constipation in children. It works by increasing the water content of the stool, making bowel movements easier and more regular.
How does macrogol 3350 work in this product?+
Macrogol 3350 is a high‑molecular‑weight polymer that remains in the intestinal lumen and draws water osmotically into the bowel. The added electrolytes help maintain osmotic balance, softening the stool and stimulating peristalsis to promote evacuation.
What is the usual dose of Movicol Junior Nøytral Smak?+
The dose of Movicol Junior Nøytral Smak is individualized by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and severity of constipation. The prescriber determines the appropriate volume of the oral solution for each patient.
