🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionSodium picosulfate is minimally absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; it acts locally in the colon. Liquid paraffin is not absorbed to a significant extent.
DistributionNot established from the available information.
Protein BindingNot established from the available information.
MetabolismSodium picosulfate is metabolized by colonic bacteria to its active form. Liquid paraffin is not metabolized.
Half-LifeNot established from the available information.
ExcretionSodium picosulfate and its metabolites are excreted primarily in the feces. Liquid paraffin is excreted unchanged in the stool.
BioavailabilityNot established from the available information.
Onset of ActionUsually within 6 to 12 hours after oral administration.
Peak Plasma TimeNot established from the available information.
Duration of ActionNot established from the available information.

How It Works

This medicine combines a stimulant laxative (sodium picosulfate) and a lubricant laxative (liquid paraffin). Sodium picosulfate is activated by colonic bacteria to form a compound that directly stimulates the nerve endings in the colon, leading to increased peristalsis and fluid accumulation. Liquid paraffin coats the stool and intestinal lining, reducing water absorption and easing passage.

Mechanism Steps

1
Activation of sodium picosulfate: Sodium picosulfate is metabolized by colonic bacteria into an active metabolite that stimulates the enteric nervous system.
2
Stimulation of peristalsis: The active metabolite triggers rhythmic muscle contractions in the colon, propelling stool forward.
3
Lubrication by liquid paraffin: Liquid paraffin forms a waterproof film on the stool and intestinal wall, preventing water reabsorption and reducing friction.
4
Combined effect: The dual action softens hard stool and promotes its expulsion, providing relief from constipation.
