About Pickab Junior Laxative Solution
Pickab Junior Laxative Solution is used for the short-term relief of occasional constipation in children. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements, where the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Symptoms include incomplete bowel movements and dry, hard stools that are difficult to pass.
Pickab Junior Laxative Solution contains sodium picosulfate, which stimulates the mucosa in the large intestine and encourages the muscles in the bowel to move waste easily, thereby increasing bowel motility. Thereby, Pickab Junior Laxative Solution helps treat constipation.
In some cases, Pickab Junior Laxative Solution may cause side effects, such as diarrhoea and abdominal pain or cramps. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, consult the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Please inform the doctor if the child is allergic to any of the components in Pickab Junior Laxative Solution. Keep the doctor informed about the child’s health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
