macrogol 3350 + sodium chloride + sodium bicarbonate + potassium chloride (Genix Pharma)

Movcol is an osmotic laxative marketed by Genix Pharma, primarily used for the treatment of chronic constipation and fecal impaction. It is a branded generic formulation containing macrogol 3350 (polyethylene glycol) and a balanced blend of electrolytes, including sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium chloride. The macrogol component works by binding water molecules, which increases the volume of intestinal fluid and softens the stool, thereby stimulating colonic propulsive motility. The electrolytes are included to ensure that there is no net gain or loss of water or electrolytes from the body during the laxative process, maintaining systemic balance while facilitating bowel evacuation.
