When your little one’s stools become hard, dry, and difficult to pass, they experience constipation. This is common in children, particularly when they switch from a liquid diet to solids or are undergoing forced potty training or are starting school.
Manage your child’s constipation with MuOUT – a laxative for infants and kids. Using laxatives will help restore your child’s normal bowel habit. It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor to manage your child’s constipation.

MuOUT is a mild softener for stools. It helps prevent dry and hard stools for infants and kids who are suffering from constipation. It increases the amount of water in the stool to make bowel movements easier. The drug is also used to empty the bowels in order to perform certain medical procedures.

Stir and dissolve the advised amount in 150-250ml fruit juice or any beverage (cold, hot or room temperature), then drink.

Wondering if your child is constipated?
Answer our simple yes or no questions to find out.
Behaviour and discipline play a major role in childhood constipation. Creating an organised toilet routine by encouraging your child to use the toilet at a similar time each day will help. Reward them for using the toilet during playtime – to discourage the behaviour of ‘holding in’. And ultimately, a fibre-rich well-balanced diet with enough hydration is extremely important for children.
