Movcol Sachet (10 pcs)

Movcol Sachet is a sachet made by Genix Pharma Ltd that contains Macrogol (PEG), an osmotic laxative. It is used for constipation and faecal impaction. Pack size: 10 pcs.

Uses of Movcol Sachet

Movcol Sachet is used to relieve constipation in adults and, in suitable formulations, children. It is also used to clear faecal impaction, where a large amount of hard stool has built up in the bowel. It usually produces a softer, easier bowel movement within a day or two. Some preparations are also used to empty the bowel before a colonoscopy.

How Movcol Sachet works

Macrogol is a large molecule that is not absorbed from the gut. It holds water in the bowel by osmosis, so the stools stay softer and bulkier. This makes them easier to pass and gently encourages the bowel to move.

Possible side effects

Movcol Sachet is gentle for most people. The more common side effects are:

• Bloating or wind
• Stomach cramps or discomfort
• Nausea
• Loose stools or diarrhoea
• Rumbling stomach

Stop taking it and see a doctor if you have severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting, blood in your stools, or signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling or a widespread rash.

Precautions and warnings

• Dissolve each sachet in the amount of water stated on the pack before drinking it.
• Do not use it if you have a blockage or perforation in the bowel, or severe inflammatory bowel disease.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart problems or kidney disease, as some versions contain salts.
• Long-lasting or new constipation, especially with weight loss or bleeding, should be checked by a doctor.
• It can be used in pregnancy and breastfeeding, but check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
