About Picosoft Kid Syrup

Picosoft Kid Syrup is used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissures, hernia, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly and bed-ridden patients. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements, characterised by stools that are often dry, painful, and difficult to pass.

Picosoft Kid Syrup contains Sodium Picosulfate that prevents the absorption of water in the colon/intestine, thereby stimulating the propulsive (pushing forward) activity, which in turn promotes the accumulation of water, providing that stool can pass with ease. Thus, it relieves constipation.

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. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Picosoft Kid Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Picosoft Kid Syrup to prevent dehydration. Consult your doctor before taking Picosoft Kid Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Picosoft Kid Syrup should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Diet

  • Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and pulses in your meals. These add bulk to your stool and help it move more easily through your intestines.
  • Aim to drink at least 6–8 glasses of water per day. Staying well-hydrated helps keep stools soft and easier to pass.
  • Cut back on foods like white bread, cheese, fast food, and snacks that lack fibre and can slow digestion.

Lifestyle changes

  • Engaging in daily movement, such as walking, stretching, or light exercise, helps keep your intestines active and supports regular bowel movements.
  • Try going to the toilet at the same time every day, especially after meals. This helps train your body to have regular bowel movements.
  • When you feel the need to have a bowel movement, don’t delay. Waiting can lead to harder, drier stools.
  • When sitting on the toilet, place your feet on a small stool to raise your knees. This position can help you pass stool naturally.
  • High stress and inadequate sleep can impact your digestion. Try deep breathing, meditation, or other calming routines, and aim for 7–8 hours of sleep each night.
