About Picosoft Kid Syrup

Picosoft Kid Syrup 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.

Picosoft Kid Syrup 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, Picosoft Kid Syrup helps treat constipation.

In some cases, Picosoft Kid Syrup 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.
