Sodium picosulfate is a medication classified as a stimulant laxative used to treat constipation by stimulating the colon and causing watery bowel movements. It is often combined with magnesium oxide and citric acid to form a laxative for bowel cleansing before colonoscopies or surgeries. This combination is highly effective in emptying the colon and providing a clear view for medical examinations. However, too much sodium picosulfate can lead to stomach pain, diarrhea, and dehydration. It is typically safe when used as directed but can have side effects such as bleeding of the rectum, confusion, and dizziness. Sodium picosulfate is commonly prescribed to patients as a strong laxative for bowel preparation.
