PICO-SALAX® is a bowel prep medication used by adults and children to clean the colon before a colonoscopy.
PICO-SALAX® cleanses your colon by causing you to have diarrhea. Cleansing your colon helps your doctor see the lining of your colon clearly during your colonoscopy.
PICO-SALAX® is the bowel prep with the least volume of prep solution, available in orange and cranberry flavour. PICO-SALAX allows you to drink any recommended clear liquids at your own pace, to maintain hydration during the prep process.
How quickly does PICO-SALAX® work?
Each patient reacts to PICO-SALAX® differently. The effects of PICO-SALAX® may be felt right away or they may take some time. It is important for you to have regular access to a bathroom as soon as you begin taking PICO-SALAX®.
