continue to drink a lot.\u00a0The fluid in this medicine should not replace your baby&#8217;s normal fluid intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Medicines And Movicol Junior Neutral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if your child is taking, has recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some medications, e.g.,\u00a0against\u00a0epilepsy, may be less effective when using Movicol Junior Neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your child takes large amounts of Movicol Junior  (e.g., for feces), your child should not take any other medicines within one hour before or after taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to thicken liquids to be able to swallow them safely, this medicine can counteract the effect of the thickener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, And Fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Movicol Junior can be used during pregnancy and lactation.\u00a0Ask your
