What is CosmoCol?

CosmoCol is a laxative that comes in powder sachets that contain a mix of macrogol 3350 and electrolytes. Macrogols act as laxatives by making your poo bigger and softer - this makes them easier to pass. It also contains electrolytes that regulate your levels of salts and water which can help to prevent dehydration or diarrhoea from happening after your constipation has been relieved.

Why am I constipated?

There are lots of reasons why you may be constipated, it’s very common and has many simple causes. If you’ve been finding it more difficult to poo or haven’t been able to poo for a few days then you may be constipated, and if it continues then you may have a more severe type of constipation called faecal impaction.
