How Movicol Liquid One Dose works

Movicol contains osmotic laxative ingredients that retain water in the bowel, increasing stool water content. This softens stools and stimulates natural bowel movements, helping ease constipation.

How to take Movicol Liquid One Dose

Oral liquid single-dose (25 mL). Take as directed by your doctor/pharmacist; may be taken with or without food. Drink adequate fluids during use. If symptoms persist beyond a few days or constipation is severe, seek medical advice.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Movicol as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Movicol than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
