Movicol paediatric VS Cosmocol Paediatric

[Warrior-1]

Hi has anyone had their prescription. change from movicol paediatric to cosmocol paediatric. And seeing it's not very effective then movicol Paediatric. ?

We have,she doesn't like the taste as much but I've found that it works the same. What's in it is virtually identical according to the box,

I'm wondering why I'm not seeing no effect yet. As my son was doing really well on movicol getting into a routine of opening his bowels. But now he's on the Cosmocol we've reached the maximum dose of 12 sachets a day and still had no effect. I'm Getting nowhere with doctors changing it back.

How bizarre, you'll have to get them to change it back again. I wonder why we can't have movicol anymore, probably more expensive!! Good luck.

Go back to Dr's and request senna it's amazing. I've seen a difference in my little lady.

Hi it's the same as movelcoil just a cheaper make and not many flavours like the expensive movelcoil. Ours haven't change yet. I'm in Somerset.

Here in London it just seems like they're changing everyone's prescriptions to cheaper make. He was prescribed the orange lemon and lime flavour smells lovely but taste disgusting no matter what you add to it. I've spoken to the doctor I've just got to pick up my new prescription at the chemist and hopefully they've changed it back to the movicolplain.

True.my little girl only likes the plain ones. It's a nightmare when they change their meds. Always cheap which is so wrong.
