About Piclin Plus Sugar Free Mint & Cardamom Flavour Suspension

Piclin Plus Sugar Free Mint & Cardamom Flavour Suspension is used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissures, hernia, cardiovascular disorders, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, and elderly and bedridden patients. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass.

Piclin Plus Sugar Free Mint & Cardamom Flavour Suspension contains liquid paraffin, milk of magnesia, and Sodium picosulphate. Liquid paraffin works by lubricating the bowels and softening the stools. Milk of magnesia works by increasing the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing water into the intestine. Sodium picosulfate prevents water absorption in the colonic lumen and stimulates the colon's propulsive activity, thereby promoting water accumulation.

You may experience certain common side effects, such as diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, pain, or cramps, in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Piclin Plus Sugar Free Mint & Cardamom Flavour Suspension for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Piclin Plus Sugar Free Mint & Cardamom Flavour Suspension to prevent dehydration. Consult your doctor before taking Piclin Plus Sugar Free Mint & Cardamom Flavour Suspension if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
