About Picolex Oral Solution

Picolex Oral Solution is used for the short-term relief of occasional constipation in children. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. Symptoms include incomplete bowel movements and dry/hard stools, which are difficult to pass.

Picolex Oral Solution contains sodium picosulfate, which stimulates mucosa in the large intestine and encourages the muscles in the bowel to move waste easily; this increases bowel motility. Thereby, Picolex Oral Solution helps treat constipation.

In some cases, Picolex Oral Solution may cause side effects, such as diarrhoea and abdominal pain/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.

Let the doctor know if the child is allergic to any of the components in Picolex Oral Solution . Keep the doctor informed about the child’s health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements. The stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body.
