Piclin Laxative 100ml contains sodium picosulfate (5 mg), which works on your body through various mechanisms:

• Activation by Colonic Bacteria: Sodium picosulfate becomes active once it interacts with bacteria in your colon. This process is vital for its effectiveness.
• Increases Fluid Secretion: The activated sodium picosulfate increases fluid secretion in your colon, making the stool softer and easier to pass.
• Stimulates Peristalsis: In addition to increasing fluid secretion, sodium picosulfate stimulates peristalsis, the wave-like muscle contractions that move food along the digestive tract, ensuring easier bowel evacuation.
• Bowel Evacuation: Due to these actions, Piclin Laxative 100ml typically brings about a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours of intake.

• Keep Piclin Laxative 100ml in a tightly closed container at room temperature.
• Protect it from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Don't store it in the fridge or freezer.
• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
• Make sure to consume it before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Try increasing your dietary fibre intake to support your body while using Piclin Laxative 100ml for constipation. Foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can help soften stools.
• Staying well-hydrated is also crucial. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to aid bowel movements and prevent dehydration due to diarrhoea, a potential side effect of this medicine.
