DULCOLAX PICO DROPS 7.5 MG 15 MLQ

Description

Dulcolax pico liquid contains the active ingredient sodium picosulfate, which is a type of medicine known as a stimulant laxative. Sodium picosulfate works by stimulating the nerve endings in the walls of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. This causes the muscles in the intestinal wall to contract more often and with increased force. When these muscles contract (a process known as peristalsis), this moves the contents of the intestine through the colon to the rectum so that the bowel can be emptied. This relieves constipation. The sodium picosulfate is activated by the natural bacteria that are found in the colon, so it does not start working until it reaches this part of the gut. Dulcolax pico liquid starts to work six to twelve hours after taking a dose. It should be taken at night to produce relief from constipation the following morning. Dosage: Adults and children over 12 years: 10-20 drops (5-10 mg)
