Description
Movicol Liquid Orange Flavour is a concentrated oral solution formulated to alleviate chronic constipation. It contains the active ingredient Macrogol 3350, which works by drawing water into the bowel, softening stools, and facilitating comfortable bowel movements. This product is suitable for adults, adolescents, and the elderly but is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
Each 25ml dose should be diluted with 100ml of water before consumption. Depending on the severity of constipation, the recommended dosage is 1–3 times daily. Movicol Liquid Orange Flavour is designed for short-term use, typically up to two weeks; however, prolonged use may be advised by a healthcare professional for certain conditions.

- Have a blockage in your intestine (gut obstruction, ileus).
