To take some Pediatric Movicol

[Bloatedbetty]

Sorry if tmi but I’ve been suffering the last few days with constipation. I’ve tried to increase both water and fibre with no relief. Wibu to use some old Movicol sachets even though they’re paediatric? Would they still work on an adult? Need some relief,fast!

Well they wouldn't hurt you, but you'd need to work out how to scale the dose up...

It's half the dose of adult so you would need to take more than usual
It also can take some time to work so maybe take two paed sachets tonight until you can buy something tomorrow?

Thank you! Had two sachets before bed. Fingers crossed

Hope you checked the dates on the sashets! Hope they sort the problem for you.

Thanks ladies. So, I had a bit of relief this morning then the pharmacist has given me Dulcolax and warned me to expect things to happen quicker than anything else on the shelves
