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 which 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.
