Sodium Picosulfate, Liquid Paraffin, Milk Of Magnesia

Sodium Picosulfate, Liquid Paraffin, and Milk of Magnesia are a combination of over-the-counter medications used for relieving constipation. This triple-action formula works by increasing bowel movement frequency and easing bowel passage, helping to soften the stool and stimulate bowel contractions.
Sodium Picosulfate, a saline laxative, acts by increasing water retention in the colon, softening the stool and facilitating its passage. Liquid Paraffin, a mineral oil, coats the intestinal wall and prevents the absorption of water, reducing constipation by making the stool softer and easier to pass. Milk of Magnesia, a suspension of magnesium hydroxide, acts as an osmotic laxative by increasing the water content in the intestine, resulting in softer, easier-to-pass stools.
This combination medication is particularly effective for relieving constipation and is suitable for short-term use. However, follow the directions provided and consult a healthcare professional if the problem persists or worsens. Patients should be aware of potential side effects such as abdominal pain, bloating, or diarrhea. As always, inform your healthcare provider of any medications, supplements, or medical conditions you may have before using this product.
