One in the morning and one in the evening didn't work for me. Speak to your healthcare advisor - I found that two in the morning and one at night for three days, did the trick and kick-started a regular action.

I suffer from constipation due to the iron and calcium supplements I have to take. This makes life much easier and more comfortable. I find though that it can give terribly smelly wind. So I find it is better to take it first thing in the morning or last thing at night. It is better than all the other laxatives I have tried as you don't get stomach cramps or diarrhoea. It just makes the stools softer.

Movicol and Laxido have same chemical formula when you read the active ingredients. Difference seems to be Laxido has flavouring. Had initial nausea from Laxido but not Movicol. Both are improved by adding flavoured squash to them on top of recommended water amount ( not instead). Needed it post surgery and found a short dose to effect relief was enough but the macrogols stay working in the body for up to 2 weeks giving effective relief. Then repeat as required. Can make you explosive to begin with and need the loo a lot for a day or two but worth it. Can be taken long term if nec.

Having struggled to take Laxido I found Movicol a far better alternative. As it is unflavoured it can be mixed with cordial which makes it far more palatable. For me it has been far more effective than Laxido.
