PICLIN TAB 10 Tablets

Piclin

Piclin is a laxative that is used to treat constipation caused by piles, anal fissures, hernias, cardiovascular problems, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, the elderly, and bedridden patients. Constipation is characterized by infrequent bowel movements that are generally dry, unpleasant, and difficult to pass.

Piclin is made up of ‘Sodium picosulphate,’ which prevents water from being absorbed in the colon/intestine, hence promoting propulsive (pushing forward) activity, which encourages water accumulation and allows feces to pass easily. As a result, constipation is relieved.

Piclin can be taken with or without food. Use the measuring cup included in the package to take the specified dose/quantity by mouth; shake the bottle thoroughly before each use. Depending on your medical condition, you should take Piclin for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. In some situations, you may develop common side effects such as diarrhoea, stomach discomfort, soreness, or cramps. The majority of these adverse effects do not necessitate medical treatment and will subside with time. However, if you are experiencing these adverse effects on a regular basis, you should consult your doctor.

Continue taking Piclin for as long as your doctor recommends to effectively treat your problem. To avoid dehydration, drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) when taking Piclin. If you use Piclin for longer than a week, you risk becoming reliant on it for bowel movements. If you observe any unexpected changes in bowel habits that last longer than two weeks, consult your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using Piclin. Piclin should not be given to children because its safety and efficacy have not been shown.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Infrequent bowel movements are referred to as constipation. Dry, uncomfortable, and difficult-to-pass stools are common. Constipation occurs when a person has fewer than three bowel motions in a week. Bowel patterns, on the other hand, can differ from person to person. Bloating, abdominal pain, and the sensation of an incomplete bowel movement are all symptoms. Constipation occurs when the large intestine’s usual muscle contractions slow down, resulting in the bowel’s incomplete removal from the body. Constipation can be caused by an abrupt change in food, a low-fiber diet, not drinking enough fluids, a lack of activity, loss of gut muscle tone in elderly persons, or lying in bed for longer periods of time.
