How to Use:

This product must be diluted before use. One dose is 25 mL of Movicol Liquid diluted with 100 mL of water, to make a total volume of 125 mL.

Constipation:

The recommended dose is one dose daily. This can be increased to 2 or 3 doses daily if necessary. If extended treatment is required for constipation, do not exceed the maximum recommended dose of 3 doses daily.

Faecal impaction:

The dose is 8 doses a day taken within 6 hours. You may need to take this dose for up to 3 days. If you have a heart condition, do not take more than 2 doses in any one hour.

How to mix:

Open the bottle and measure 25 mL using the measuring cup. Pour the Liquid into a glass and then add 100 mL of water. When the Movicol Liquid Orange flavour solution is clear, drink it. If you are taking Movicol Liquid for faecal impaction, it may be more convenient to add eight 25 mL measures to 800 mL of water. It is essential to dilute Movicol Liquid as directed. This will help to reduce any potential risk of dehydration. Please rinse the measuring cup after use and replace it on the bottle. Any diluted Movicol solution not used within 24 hours should be disposed of. Drink plenty of water. Increase fibre in diet except in cases of medication induced constipation. Prolonged use of laxatives is undesirable and may lead to dependence. If symptoms persist seek medical advice. In some circumstances, prolonged use may be necessary but should only be under medical supervision. If you take too much Movicol Liquid and get bad diarrhoea, stop taking it until it stops. If constipation recurs, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking a new course of Movicol Liquid. If you are worried, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
