Description
Dulcolax Pico Liquid Laxative contains sodium picosulfate, a stimulant laxative that works by stimulating the muscles of the bowel (large intestine), bringing predictable, overnight relief from constipation. It helps the bowel return to its normal, regular function. The pleasant fruit flavor makes it easy to take, and the liquid form is ideal for those who prefer not to swallow tablets.
- Gentle overnight relief within 6–12 hours
- Fruit-flavored liquid for easy consumption
- Suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over

- Experience sudden changes in bowel habits persisting for more than two weeks.
- Need to use a laxative daily or for extended periods.
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
