Dulcolax Picosulphate Oral Drops 30 ml

Dulcolax Picosulphate is a medicine in the form of oral drops with a laxative action that directly stimulates the nerve endings of the intestinal walls, increasing their motility and facilitating the passage of stool. It is therefore used for the relief of occasional constipation.

Comes in a 30 ml bottle.

Suitable for use in both adults and children over 6 years of age.

The recommended dosage varies according to the age of the patient:

• From 12 years of age: 8-12 drops per day in a single dose.

• Children from 6 to 11 years of age: 2 to 8 drops per day in a single dose.

Do not use Dulcolax Picosulphate in children under 6 years of age.

Do not take this medicine if you have intestinal obstruction, paralytic ileus, if you have appendicitis or intestinal perforation, gastrointestinal bleeding or inflammatory bowel disease, or if you have haemorrhoids or anal fissures.
