Is Movicol a laxative or stool softener?
Movicol is one of a group of drugs called osmotic laxatives. These drugs attract and retain water in your stools, making them softer and easier to pass, thus reducing constipation. Movicol is indicated for the treatment of chronic constipation and also works in very bad constipation (called faecal impaction).
