Gentle, effective and designed to restore comfort, Chemists' Own Constipation Relief with Electrolytes 30 Sachets provides fast-acting relief from constipation while helping maintain essential hydration.

Perfect for ongoing constipation management, preparation before certain medical procedures, or when gentle yet effective relief is needed.
