Coloxyl Macrogol For Children 4g Powder 14 Sachets

Product Description:

Coloxyl Macrogol For Children contains macrogol 4000 which is the recommended first line treatment therapy for children with constipation. It relieves the most common constipation symptoms in children & provides gentle and effective relief from:

• Hard stools
• Straining
• Discomfort from bloating

It works by binding to water molecules which then softens and slightly bulks the stool, triggering a natural bowel movement in the body that makes it easier for children to pass.

Using the dosing table, dissolve (Stir) each sachet well with either water or juice and drink once dissolved.

Coloxyl Macrogol For Children will mix into a colourless solution in water and start to work within 24-48 hours. Start at the minimum dose.
