Product Description
Movicol STP 28 LL is a powder laxative used to relieve constipation and help restore comfortable bowel movements in adults and adolescents. It belongs to a class of osmotic laxatives, meaning it works by drawing water into the bowel to soften stools and make them easier to pass. The powder is dissolved in water before drinking and usually starts to work within 24–48 hours. Movicol is often recommended for regular or chronic constipation and helps with hard stools without stimulating the bowel muscles harshly.
Key Ingredients
Each sachet (about ~13.7–13.8 g) of Movicol contains a blend of active ingredients and electrolytes that work together to soften stool and maintain fluid balance:
Active ingredients:
Macrogol 3350 (Polyethylene glycol 3350) – ~13.125 g
A high-molecular-weight polymer that draws water into the bowel.
Sodium Chloride – ~0.3507 g

These electrolytes help prevent significant changes in body salt and water balance while the laxative works.
