How Moviprep Original Sachets work

Moviprep Original Sachets is a laxative that draws large amounts of water into the colon, making bowel movements easier. 

Directions

Always take Moviprep Original Sachets exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.
