Pharmacological effect Picodinar
The active ingredient is sodium picosulfate, which is a laxative belonging to the triarylmethane group. Sodium picosulfate, as a local laxative, promotes motility and accumulation of water and electrolytes in the colon after bacterial cleavage. It stimulates bowel movements, speeds up evacuation, and softens stools.
Sodium picosulfate, a colonic agent, facilitates the natural excretion of contents from the lower GI tract without affecting the digestion or absorption of nutrients from the small intestine.
