Movicol Powder Sachets 13.8g x 30 Chocolate

Movicol Powder Sachets 13.8g Chocolate is a gentle yet effective treatment for chronic constipation and faecal impaction. Each sachet contains a balanced combination of macrogol 3350, electrolytes (sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride), and a pleasant chocolate flavouring, designed to restore regular bowel movements without harsh cramping.

Macrogol works by retaining water in the bowel, softening stools, and increasing stool volume to promote comfortable and predictable relief. Unlike stimulant laxatives, Movicol works in harmony with your body’s natural processes and is suitable for long-term use under medical guidance.

This pack contains 30 single-dose sachets, each 13.8g, providing convenient measured servings for effective constipation relief with a chocolate flavour that makes it easier to take.
