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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride (electrolytes) are included in each sachet to help ensure that the laxative works without causing the body to gain or lose significant amounts of sodium, potassium or water that are needed for proper functioning of the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstipation: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eA dose of Movicol Plain laxatives is 1 sachet. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eTake this 1 -3 times a day according to the severity of your constipation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFaecal impaction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBefore you take Movicol Plain laxatives for faecal impaction, it should be confirmed that you have this condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eA dose of 8 laxative sachets a day of Movicol is needed for the treatment of faecal impaction.
