Sodium picosulfate is a stimulant laxative. Bacteria in the bowel convert it into its active form, which increases bowel movement and water in the stools.
Do not use it if you have bowel blockage, severe abdominal pain or severe dehydration. Long-term use should be supervised by a doctor. When used for bowel preparation, follow the instructions about fluids carefully to avoid dehydration.
