Information

Coloxyl Macrogol For Children contains macrogol 4000 which is the recommended first line treatment therapy for children with constipation.

It relieves the most common constipation symptoms in children & provides gentle and effective relief from:

• Hard stools
• Straining
• Discomfort from bloating

It works by binding to water molecules which then softens and slightly bulks the stool, triggering a natural bowel movement in the body that makes it easier for children to pass.
