Mechanism of Action

Sodium Picosulfate:
A locally acting laxative with a dual action on the mucosa of the large intestine and rectum, resulting in:

Liquid Paraffin:
Softens feces and coats the intestine with an oily film. Helps:

• Reduce pain in conditions like hemorrhoids
• Soften hardened fecal material

Magnesium Hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia):
Increases osmotic pressure in the intestines, drawing in water to:

• Distend the colon
• Stimulate peristaltic action
• Promote smooth bowel evacuation

• Pre- and post-operative bowel management
• Elderly and bedridden patients
