Picolax should not be used daily or for long periods without determining the cause of the constipation.

- on the part of the skin: skin rashes, urticaria, itching;
- from the side of water-electrolyte balance: loss of potassium, sodium and other electrolytes, possible development of dehydration;
- from the digestive system: rarely - dyspeptic phenomena, nausea, vomiting, spasms and abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence, pain in the stomach and anus, increased intestinal motility, which passes when the dose of the preparation is reduced;

Special instructions
Picolax tablets
Use with caution in hypokalemia, increased magnesium content in the blood, patients with a weakened body.
The preparation contains lactose, which should be taken into account by patients with hereditary lactose intolerance.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Long-term experience has not revealed any unwanted or harmful side effects of Picolax when taken during pregnancy.
There is no evidence of the penetration of Picolax into breast milk.
Despite this, Picolax can be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, only if, in the opinion of the doctor, the benefit of using the preparation exceeds the potential risk to the fetus / child.
Use with extreme caution if there is a threat of abortion.
The ability to influence the speed of reaction when driving a motor vehicle or working with other mechanisms. Patients should keep in mind that due to the possibility of vasovagal reactions (spasms in the abdomen), dizziness and / or fainting, it is necessary to avoid potentially dangerous activities, such as driving a motor vehicle or working with other mechanisms.
Children. Do not use the preparation in children without consulting a doctor. Do not use 7.5 mg tablets in children under 10 years of age. Do not use 5 mg tablets in children under 4 years of age.
Picolax drops
Patients with chronic constipation should undergo a complete diagnosis and establish the cause of constipation.
Long-term use of the preparation can lead to a violation of the water and electrolyte balance and hypokalemia.
Cases of dizziness and/or fainting have been reported that coincided with the use of sodium picosulfate. Available information allows us to assume that these phenomena correspond to fainting (associated with Valsalva failure) during the act of defecation, or are associated with a vasovagal response to abdominal pain.
Patients with rare hereditary problems of fructose intolerance should not take this medicine because it contains sorbitol.
This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol of sodium in 1 dose, i.e. it is practically sodium-free.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are no adequate studies on the use of sodium picosulfate in pregnant women. For safety reasons, if possible, Picolax should not be used during pregnancy.
Clinical data show that neither the active metabolite bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane nor its glucuronides penetrate into breast milk. Thus, Picolax can be used during breastfeeding.
Studies on the assessment of the effect on fertility have not been conducted.
The ability to influence the speed of reaction when driving a motor vehicle or working with other mechanisms. Studies of the effect on the ability to drive vehicles and work with other mechanisms have not been conducted. However, patients should be warned about the possibility of developing side effects such as dizziness and/or syncope due to vasovagal reactions (especially abdominal spasm). In the event of an abdominal spasm, the patient should avoid such potentially dangerous activities as driving a motor vehicle or working with other mechanisms.
Children. The preparation should be used in children aged 4 years and older only as prescribed by a doctor.
Interactions
Electrolyte imbalance can lead to reduced tolerance to cardiac glycosides. diuretics or corticosteroids may increase the hypokalemia caused by the use of Picolax in high doses. simultaneous treatment with antibiotics can reduce the laxative effect of the preparation.
Overdose
Symptoms: taking Picolax in high doses can cause diarrhea, intestinal colic and clinically significant disturbances in the water-electrolyte balance (hypokalemia, loss of other electrolytes and fluids). there are reports of ischemia of the mucous membrane of the large intestine when using Picolax in higher doses, much higher than those recommended for constipation. long-term overdose leads to the development of chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain, hypokalemia, secondary hyperaldosteronism, possible kidney damage and the development of nephrolithiasis, metabolic alkalosis, and muscle weakness as a result of hypokalemia.
Treatment. Cancellation of the preparation, induction of vomiting, gastric lavage, administration of enterosorbents (activated charcoal), symptomatic treatment (correction of water and electrolyte balance, especially in elderly patients and children, use of antispasmodics).
