CosmoCol Lemon & Lime Flavour – 30 Sachets. CosmoCol Lemon & Lime Flavour is a laxative used for the treatment of long-term constipation and faecal impaction (persistent constipation, where a large volume of stools causes a blockage of the rectum and/or colon). It is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. Macrogol 3350 makes your faeces softer and easier to pass, giving you relief from constipation. The electrolytes (salts) help to maintain your body’s normal levels of sodium, potassium and water while you are being treated for constipation. CosmoCol sachets are a treatment for constipation that can be made up into a delicious drink. It can be used for constipation or faecal impaction, helping to clear your blockage so your digestive system can start to get back to normal. CosmoCol contains four active ingredients which work together to relieve constipation; macrogol 3350, sodium chloride, sodium hydrogen carbonate, and potassium chloride. The macrogol helps to soften your built up poo, making it easier and more comfortable for you to pass. At the same time, the other ingredients work as electrolytes, helping to regulate the levels of salts, water, and potassium in your body as it clears your constipation. This is especially important as chronic constipation or faecal impaction can be followed up with diarrhoea, which depletes your body’s stores of water and salts, so CosmoCol helps your body prepare for this.
