About This Product
These orange-flavoured, sugar-free macrogol 3350 sachets provide effective osmotic relief from constipation. Macrogol 3350 is a large polymer molecule that retains water in the bowel, softening the stool and restoring natural bowel function without being absorbed into the bloodstream.
The orange flavour and sugar-free formulation make this laxative more palatable than plain macrogol sachets and suitable for diabetic patients. Each sachet is dissolved in a glass of water to produce a pleasant orange-flavoured drink.
Dosage & Directions
Adults: Dissolve 1 sachet in a full glass (approximately 125ml) of water. Stir until dissolved. Take 1–3 sachets daily, or as directed by your pharmacist or doctor.
Effects: Typically seen within 1–2 days of starting treatment. Once effective, adjust the dose to maintain regular, comfortable bowel movements.
Duration: Macrogol is suitable for regular use. However, if constipation persists for more than 2 weeks despite treatment, consult your pharmacist or doctor to rule out underlying causes.
Storage & Ingredients
Active ingredient: Macrogol 3350 per sachet (dose as per product labelling). Excipients: sodium sulfate anhydrous, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, orange flavour, acesulfame K.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Once dissolved, consume within 6 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as Movicol Orange?
These sachets contain the same active ingredient as Movicol Orange (macrogol 3350) and are equivalent in action. The brand supplied may vary — we supply licensed generic equivalents when branded stock is unavailable, but the therapeutic effect is identical.
Can I take macrogol sachets long-term?
Macrogol is non-habit-forming and suitable for longer-term use under pharmacist or GP guidance for chronic constipation management. Unlike stimulant laxatives, it does not cause dependency.
