ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE

The fluid content of MOVICOL
when re-constituted with water does not
replace regular fluid intake and adequate
fluid intake must be maintained.
Laxative products such as Movicol have the
potential to interact with other medications,
by altering their absorption. Close monitoring
of the effects of the medications may be
necessary when patient starts or stops
taking Movicol regularly. It is important that
the patient should discuss this with the
doctor.
If the patient is pregnant talk to the doctor
before taking Movicol.

to swallow them safely, Movicol may
counteract the effect of the thickener.
