Other Medications and Movicol Neutral Flavor

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

Some medications, such as antiepileptics, may not be as effective when taken with Movicol Neutral Flavor.

Do not take other oral medications from one hour before to one hour after taking Movicol Neutral Flavor.

If you need to thicken liquids to swallow them safely, Movicol Neutral Flavor may neutralize the effect of the thickener.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Movicol Neutral Flavor can be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Driving and Using Machines

Movicol Neutral Flavor does not affect your ability to drive or use machines.

Movicol Neutral Flavor Contains Sodium

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you need to take 3 daily doses for an extended period or especially if you have been advised to follow a low-salt diet.

Movicol Neutral Flavor contains 186.87 mg of sodium (a major component of table salt) per sachet. This is equivalent to 9.3% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.

3. How to Take Movicol Neutral Flavor

This medication can be taken at any time with or without food.

Dissolve the contents of each sachet in 125 ml (1/2 glass) of water and take it.

Constipation:

The dose of Movicol Neutral Flavor is 1 sachet dissolved in 125 ml (1/2 glass) of water.

Take 1 sachet 1-3 times a day, depending on the severity of the constipation.

Fecal Impaction:

Before taking Movicol Neutral Flavor for fecal impaction, it must be confirmed that you actually have this condition.

For the treatment of fecal impaction, it is necessary to take 8 sachets per day. Each sachet should be dissolved in 125 ml (1/2 glass) of water. The 8 sachets should be taken over 6 hours for 3 days, if necessary. If you have any cardiac conditions, do not take more than 2 sachets per hour.

How to Prepare

Open the sachet and pour the contents into a glass. Add approximately 125 ml of water to the glass. Shake well until the powder is dissolved and the Movicol Neutral Flavor solution is clear or slightly cloudy, then drink the solution. If you are taking Movicol Neutral Flavor for fecal impaction, it may be easier to dissolve the 8 sachets in 1 liter of water.

Duration of Treatment:

Constipation:

Treatment with Movicol Neutral Flavor usually lasts for about 2 weeks. If you need to take Movicol Neutral Flavor for a longer period, please consult your doctor. If the constipation is caused by a disease such as Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, or if you are taking other medications that cause constipation, your doctor may advise you to take Movicol Neutral Flavor for more than 2 weeks.

Normally, during long-term treatment, the dose can be reduced to 1 or 2 sachets per day.

Fecal Impaction:

Treatment with Movicol Neutral Flavor may last up to 3 days.

If You Take More Movicol Neutral Flavor Than You Should:

You may develop excessive diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration. If this happens, stop treatment with Movicol Neutral Flavor until it disappears and drink plenty of fluids. If you are concerned, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If You Forget to Take Movicol Neutral Flavor:

Take the dose as soon as you remember you need to take it.
