FAQs
What is Micralax used for?
Micralax is intended for short-term relief of occasional constipation. It’s a micro-enema product used rectally, designed to work locally in the lower bowel when used according to the patient information leaflet.
How is a micro-enema different from tablets or sachets?
A micro-enema is used rectally and works locally, while tablets, liquids and sachets are taken by mouth and work through the digestive system. The most suitable option depends on your symptoms, preferences and the product guidance.
How do I use Micralax?
Always follow the patient information leaflet exactly. If you’re unsure about how to use a micro-enema, or you have concerns about suitability, ask a pharmacist for advice before use.
How quickly does Micralax work?
How fast constipation relief starts can vary from person to person. Check the leaflet for what to expect and seek advice if symptoms don’t improve within the timeframe stated.
Can I use Micralax with other constipation medicines?
Using more than one constipation treatment at the same time isn’t always appropriate. If you’re already taking medicines, or you’ve tried other laxatives without relief, speak to a pharmacist or GP for tailored advice.
Can I use Micralax if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, or have a medical condition, it’s sensible to ask a pharmacist or GP before using constipation medicines. They can help you choose an option that’s appropriate for you.
When should I speak to a pharmacist or GP about constipation?
Get advice if constipation is new, lasts more than a few days despite self-care, keeps returning, or comes with severe pain, vomiting, fever, unexplained weight loss, blood in stools, or a significant change in bowel habit.
Important: Constipation treatments are for short-term self-care when used as directed. Always read the patient information leaflet, do not exceed the recommended dose, and ask a pharmacist or your GP if symptoms persist, worsen, or you’re unsure what’s suitable.
