Picoprep is an orange-flavoured powder for oral solution containing sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide and citric acid. It is a bowel-cleansing medicine used to empty the bowel before diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy, radiological examinations or surgery when medically required.
Use Picoprep only according to the instructions provided by a doctor or healthcare professional. The powder must be dissolved in water before administration, and adequate clear-fluid intake is important during bowel preparation. Follow the prescribed preparation schedule and the instructions supplied with the medicine.
Sodium picosulfate acts as a stimulant laxative, while magnesium oxide and citric acid form magnesium citrate in solution, producing an osmotic laxative effect. Together they promote bowel evacuation for bowel-cleansing procedures.
Each sachet contains Sodium Picosulfate 10 mg, Light Magnesium Oxide 3.5 g and Anhydrous Citric Acid 12 g.
Excipients include potassium bicarbonate, sodium saccharin and natural orange flavour containing acacia gum, lactose, ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxyanisole.
Provides bowel cleansing before colonoscopy, radiological examination or surgery when clinically required and is supplied as an orange-flavoured powder for preparation as an oral solution.
