A member asked:
Is movicol safe to use during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Movicol: This is a stool softener that contains Polyehylene Glycol. The product is pregnancy category C. It is to be used with caution. Animal studies show risk and human studies, or there is no data. If you are pregnant I would double check with your OB provider.
