CompositionPicolex Oral Solution is a medicine used to manage occasional constipation and to clear the bowel before medical procedures or surgery in adults. It helps ease bowel movements and restore normal bowel regularity.
It contains sodium picosulfate, a laxative that acts locally in the bowel to stimulate movement and keep water in the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. Take it at bedtime as prescribed, usually producing a bowel movement the following morning. Do not use it for extended periods without medical advice.
Maintaining adequate hydration by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and eating a diet rich in high-fibre foods like fruits and vegetables supports natural bowel health alongside this medicine.
Before taking this solution, tell your doctor if you have severe abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, severe dehydration, or inflammatory bowel conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. Inform your doctor if severe stomach cramps or diarrhoea occur.
