Picopil 5 Mg Syrup 100 Ml 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, Picopil 5 Mg Syrup 100 Ml typically brings about a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours of intake.
