Composition

• Active Ingredient: Sodium Picosulfate
• Strength: 5 mg per 5 ml

Mechanism of Action

Sodium Picosulfate is a locally acting stimulant laxative. After oral intake, it is activated in the colon by intestinal bacteria and works by:

This dual action helps restore normal bowel activity without harsh irritation.
