Frequently asked questions

Why take it at night?

It usually works overnight, so you can go in the morning.

Can I take it every day?

No. Regular use can make the bowel rely on it. Speak to a pharmacist.

Can I take it in pregnancy?

Ask a pharmacist or midwife first. A bulk forming laxative is usually tried before a stimulant.

Can I buy this without a consultation?

Yes. It is available to buy, though our pharmacy team are happy to check it is the right choice for your symptoms.

How should I store it?

Keep it in its original pack at room temperature, away from damp and direct heat, and out of the sight and reach of children.

Order from this page and we will send it out in discreet packaging. Ask our team if you would like advice before you order.
