What Movicol Lemon And Lime is and what it is used for?
Movicol Lemon And Lime is a laxative for the treatment of constipation in adults, adolescents and the elderly. The infusion of lemon and lime gives this medicine a fresh and tangy taste which makes it more pleasant to take.
Movicol Lemon And Lime powder sachet is easy to use – simply dissolve the content in a glass of water and drink.
How does Movicol works?
Movicol contains the active ingredient macrogol 3350 (polyethylene glycol), which is a type of medicine known as an osmotic laxative, each Movicol sachet also contains sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride.
The contents of the sachets should be mixed with water to make a drink. Macrogol is an inert substance that passes through the gut without being absorbed into the body. It relieves constipation because it causes the water it is taken with to be retained in the bowel instead of being absorbed into the body. This increases the water content and volume of the stools in the bowel making them softer and easier to pass.
How long does Movicol take to work?
Movicol does not work as quickly as stimulant laxatives such as Senna which starts to work within 6-12 hours.
When taking Movicol as directed in the Patient Information Leaflet, most people will start to see an improvement in their constipation within 1-3 days.
Movicol long-term use
For the treatment of constipation, Movicol is usually taken for 2 weeks or until stools are consistently soft and easy to pass. If you continue to be affected by constipation after using Movicol for 14 consecutive days then you should speak to a doctor or pharmacist for advice.
What is constipation?
Normal and regular bowel movement is important for most people. However, what is “normal and regular” varies from person to person. Some may have a bowel movement every day, others less often. Whatever it is like for you, it is best that your bowel movement has a regular pattern.
- Constipation is an occasional problem for some people. For others, it may happen more often
- It happens when the normal muscle actions in the bowel (large intestine) slow down. This can mean that material is not easily eliminated from the body
The cause of constipation is often not known. It can be associated with:
- Sudden change of diet
- A diet with not enough fibre
- Not drinking enough fluids
- Loss of ‘tone’ of the bowel muscles in older people
- Pregnancy
- Medicines such as morphine or codeine
- Having to stay in bed for a long time
- Lack of exercise
