About Picogir Plus Laxative Delicious Sugar Free

Picogir Plus Laxative Delicious Sugar Free is used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissures, hernia, cardiovascular disorders, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly and bed-ridden patients.

Picogir Plus Laxative Delicious Sugar Free contains liquid paraffin (lubricant), Milk Of Magnesia (hyperosmotic laxative), and Sodium picosulphate (stimulant laxative).
