Smoooth 10 mg Tablet 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. It contains Sodium Picosulfate, which prevents the absorption of water in the colon and intestine, thereby stimulating propulsive (pushing forward) activity. This, in turn, promotes the accumulation of water, allowing stool to pass with ease. Thus, it relieves constipation. In some cases, it may cause common side effects such as diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, pain, or cramps. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat more natural fiber – 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.
  • Drink enough water every day – Aim to drink at least 6–8 glasses of water per day. Staying well-hydrated helps keep stools soft and easier to pass.
  • Limit processed and low-fibre foods – Cut back on foods like white bread, cheese, fast food, and snacks that lack fibre and can slow digestion.
  • Stay physically active – Engaging in daily movement, such as walking, stretching, or light exercise, helps keep your intestines active and supports regular bowel movements.
  • Create a bathroom routine – Try going to the toilet at the same time every day, especially after meals. This helps train your body to have regular bowel movements.
  • Don’t ignore the urge to go – When you feel the need to have a bowel movement, don’t delay. Waiting can lead to harder, drier stools.
  • Use a healthy toilet posture – When sitting on the toilet, place your feet on a small stool to raise your knees. This position can help you pass stool naturally.
  • Manage stress and rest well – 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.
