What is Macrogol?
Macrogol is a type of medicine known as a laxative, used to treat constipation by making your stools slightly bigger and softer.
It can also be given before a colonoscopy (a test to check inside your bowels) to empty your bowels prior to the test.
Macrogol generally comes in sachets of powder that you mix with water and can take 1 or 2 days to work.
Is macrogol suitable for children?
Most macrogol products are not suitable for children under the age of 12.
If your child is suffering with constipation, speak to your doctor or pharmacist so they can recommend a suitable remedy for them.
Can I buy macrogol over the counter?
Macrogol can be bought over the counter from registered pharmacies like Chemist 4 U.
However, you may need to answer some simple questions before you buy.
Pharmacists are legally required to ask these questions, as they help you and your pharmacist to be sure that macrogol will be safe and effective for you.
Can I take macrogol if I’m pregnant?
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding then you may be able to take some remedies that contain macrogol to ease your constipation.
However, this may not apply to every macrogol product, as different ingredients and formulations may not be suitable to take during pregnancy.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication, to be sure that it’s suitable for you at this time.
