movicol sachets
movicol sachets has a natural mode of action that works gently, in harmony with your body.Movicol brings water to the hard, dry stool, and then acts locally in the colon to relieve constipation.

And once it’s worked to bring about a bowel movement, the active molecule, Macrogol 3350, is expelled from the body virtually unabsorbed.
