Pharmacodynamics: sodium picosulfate, an
active ingredient in Guttalax Picosulphate, is a laxative of the triarylmethane
group. As a locally acting laxative, sodium picosulphate after bacterial
cleavage in the colon has a stimulating effect on the mucosa of the colon,
increasing motility, and promotes accumulation of water and electrolytes in the
colon. This leads to the stimulation of defecation, reduction of evacuation
time and stool softening.

treatment with Guttalax Picosulphate.
Drug interaction:
In case of simultaneous use of Guttalax in
