Constipation relief – Stool Softener
New Coloxyl Macrogol For Children is for the relief & treatment of functional and chronic constipation in babies and kids. It has a natural mode of action to relieve constipation gently and effectively in children from as early as 6 months of age.
Coloxyl Macrogol For Children contains macrogol 4000. Macrogol* is one of the recommended first line treatment therapies for children with constipation. 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.
