Why is it important for my child to take Movicol?
If constipation (difficulty doing a poo) is severe, the faeces (poo) may become hardened and difficult to pass (this is called faecal impaction). Constipation can make your child feel very poorly.
Movicol is a type of laxative. It should help to produce a comfortable bowel motion (poo) even if your child has been constipated for a long time. The aim of treatment is that your child produces soft stools (poo) regularly.\
What is Movicol available as?
Movicol is a powder that comes in sachets.
- Movicol comes in a variety of flavours. Each sachet contains 13.8 g of Movicol.
- Movicol-Half powder sachets contains 6.9 g of Movicol.
Both these contain the artificial sweetener acesulfame potassium (E950).
- Movicol Paediatric Plain contains no colours, flavours or sweeteners. Each sachet contains 6.9 g of Movicol.
What if I forget to give it?
If you miss a dose, give your child the missed dose as soon as you remember.
You must give each sachet with one glass of water. Do not put two sachets together into one drink.
What if I give too much?
You are unlikely to cause harm if you give an extra dose of Movicol by mistake. If you are concerned that you may have given too much, contact your doctor or local NHS services. Have the medicine or packaging with you if you telephone for advice.
Side effects you must do something about
If your child is sick (vomits) often, or if the vomit is dark green or brown, they may have a blockage of the gut. Do not give your child any more Movicol, and contact your doctor straight away
If your child feels weak, seems very thirsty and has a headache, they may be dehydrated. Contact your doctor for advice.
Other side-effects you need to know about
- Your child may have stomach ache, feel sick (nausea) or be sick (vomit) or may feel bloated. They may also get diarrhoea. These effects are more likely if they have several sachets of Movicol in one day to treat severe constipation. These side-effects can also be related to the constipation. They should settle down once your child starts to pass soft stools regularly.
- If your child is feeling sick or vomits only once or twice, continue to give Movicol but give it less often during the day.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Movicol?
- You can give your child medicines that contain paracetamol or ibuprofen, unless your doctor has told you not to.
- Check with your doctor or pharmacist before giving any other medicines to your child. This includes herbal and complementary medicines.
Is there anything else I need to know about this medicine?
Do not give Movicol without plenty of water. It will not work properly and you risk causing dehydration.
- Movicol must be given with water. Otherwise the medicine will not work and may make your child dehydrated.
Where should I keep this medicine?
