Usage

Pico-Salax (Citric Acid/Magnesium Oxide/Sodium Picosulfate) is an over-the-counter medication used for bowel preparation before colonoscopy, barium enema, x-ray examination of the colon, or surgical procedures that require a clean colon. It is a combination therapy that consists of Citric Acid, Magnesium Oxide, and Sodium Picosulfate. Magnesium oxide and citric acid combine to form magnesium citrate, an osmotic laxative that increases water in the colon. Picosulfate sodium belongs to the class of medications called stimulant laxatives, which activate the colon and stimulate the muscles in the colon to contract, causing a bowel movement. The combined effect clears out the bowels. Pico-Salax usually produces a bowel movement within 2 to 3 hours, depending on your body's response.

Side Effects and Precautions

The common side effects of Pico-Salax are abdominal pain, water stool, fatigue, anal pain and headache.
