PICLIN TAB 10 Tablets

Piclin

Piclin is a laxative used to treat constipation induced by piles, anal fissures, hernias, cardiovascular problems, endoscopy, bowel clearance prior to radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly patients, and bedridden patients. Constipation is characterized by dry, uncomfortable, and difficult bowel movements that occur infrequently.

Piclin is composed of ‘Sodium picosulphate,’ which prevents water from being absorbed in the colon/intestine, thereby fostering propulsive activity, which encourages water accumulation and facilitates feces passage. Constipation is therefore relieved.

You can consume Piclin with or without food. Use the enclosed measuring cup to administer the prescribed dose or quantity orally; shake the vial well before each use. Depending on the severity of your medical condition, you should take Piclin for as long as your doctor directs. In certain instances, you may experience prevalent side effects such as diarrhea, stomach pain, soreness, or cramping. The majority of these side effects do not require medical intervention and will subside over time. However, if you experience these side effects frequently, you should consult your physician.

Continue taking Piclin for as long as prescribed by your doctor to effectively treat your condition. When taking Piclin, consume plenty of fluids (at least 6 to 8 glasses) to prevent dehydration. If you take Piclin for more than a week, you run the risk of becoming dependent on it to have bowel movements. Consult a physician if you observe any changes in bowel habits that last longer than two weeks. Before using Piclin if you are expectant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor. Piclin should not be administered to minors as its safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Medicinal Advantages

Piclin is a laxative used to treat constipation induced by piles, anal fissures, hernias, cardiovascular problems, endoscopy, bowel clearance prior to radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly patients, and bedridden patients. Piclin is composed of sodium picosulphate, a stimulant laxative that inhibits water absorption in the colonic lumen and increases the colon’s propulsive activity, resulting in water retention.

The negative effects of Piclin

The majority of adverse effects of Piclin do not require medical treatment and diminish over time. However, if you experience these side effects frequently, you should consult your physician.

Diseases and Conditions Glossary

The condition of having infrequent bowel movements is known as constipation. Frequent gastrointestinal symptoms include dry, uncomfortable, and difficult-to-pass feces. A person is constipated when they have fewer than three gastrointestinal movements per week. On the other hand, bowel habits can vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and the sensation of an incomplete bowel movement. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions of the large intestine slow down, resulting in incomplete removal of the colon from the body. Constipation can be caused by a sudden change in diet, a low-fiber diet, insufficient fluid intake, lack of physical activity, loss of stomach muscle tone in the elderly, or prolonged bed rest.

FAQs

Piclin is composed of sodium picosulphate, a stimulant laxative that inhibits water absorption in the colonic lumen and increases the colon’s propulsive activity, resulting in water retention.

If you use Sodium Picosulfate for more than a week, your gastrointestinal movements may become dependent on it. Prolonged administration of Sodium Picosulfate may result in dehydration, an imbalance of body fluids and salts, and intestinal muscular rigidity. After a week of taking Sodium Picosulfate, if you continue to experience irregular bowel movements, consult your doctor.

Sodium picosulfate is ineffective for weight reduction. It has no effect on the absorption of calories or nutrients. Sodium picosulfate-induced dehydration can make you feel as though you are losing weight. To avoid dehydration, consume copious amounts of water.

Consult your doctor before taking Sodium Picosulfate with other medications. Sodium Picosulfate may accelerate gastrointestinal transit, which may influence the absorption of other orally administered medications.

If Sodium Picosulfate is used excessively or for an extended period of time, dehydration may occur. Extreme dehydration is characterized by weakness, tremors, dizziness, and hazy vision. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your physician immediately. To avoid dehydration, consume copious amounts of water.

If you ingest excessive amounts of Sodium Picosulfate, you may develop diarrhea. If you have diarrhea, ingest copious amounts of water and fiber-rich foods. Consult a physician if you observe blood in your faeces (tarry stools) or if you have excessive diarrhea. Do not administer anti-diarrheal medication to yourself.

Constipation occurs when the normal muscle activities in the large intestine are impeded, causing debris (stools) to be difficult to evacuate the body.
