Can I take 100 and Movicol together?

Why this happens

Movicol (macrogol) increases the speed of gastrointestinal transit. This can reduce the time available for the absorption of other orally administered medications.

To ensure your other medicines work correctly, you should leave a gap of at least 2 hours between taking Movicol and taking any other oral medication. If you are taking medicines with a narrow therapeutic range (medicines where the dose needs to be very precise, such as epilepsy drugs or blood thinners), you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist for specific timing advice.
