Movicol has a natural action that works in two ways:

Each macrogol molecule bonds with 100 water molecules to hydrate and bulk stools¹

2. Softens & lubricates

This also softens and lubricates stools to aid passage through the bowels

Can be used in pregnancy^† and breastfeeding,⁴ as it is virtually unabsorbed and passes through the body unchanged.
