  • Description

    Sodium picosulfate is a prodrug, meaning it is inactive until it reaches the colon. In the colon, it is metabolized by gut bacteria into its active form, bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane (BHPM). The active metabolite stimulates the nerve endings in the colonic mucosa, which enhances the peristaltic movements of the colon. Peristalsis is the series of wave-like muscle contractions that move stool through the digestive tract. This increased peristaltic activity accelerates the passage of stool through the colon, helping to relieve constipation. Sodium picosulfate also reduces the absorption of water and electrolytes in the colon. This leads to softer stools, making them easier to pass.
