Movicol is a medication used to treat constipation and fecal impaction contains four active ingredients in powder form: macrogol, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium chloride. The active ingredients in Movicol are known as electrolytes and help to maintain the proper balance of fluids in the body. It works by increasing the water retention in the intestinal tract and softening the stool to make it easier to pass.
Unlike some laxatives that work to cause bowel contractions through direct nerve stimulation, Movicol has a natural mode of action that works gently, in a way that does not disrupt the body’s normal digestive processes. This makes it a suitable treatment option for people who suffer from chronic constipation or fecal impaction.
Movicol is available as a powder which are dissolved in water before use. To use Movicol powder, follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist. The powder should be taken orally by dissolving it in water and drinking the solution. The recommended dose may vary depending on the severity of your constipation and other factors. Take Movicol as directed and not exceed the recommended dose.
Typically, one sachet of Movicol is dissolved in about 125 mL of water and then stirred until the powder is completely dissolved. The solution should be taken immediately after it is prepared. Drinking additional water after taking Movicol can help to prevent dehydration and other possible side effects.
Movicol may take several days to produce the desired effect, and in some cases, it may take up to 2 weeks of treatment before symptoms improve. If you have any questions or concerns about using Movicol, be sure to speak with your healthcare provider.
