Product Price: MRP : 140.63
PIC-OUT PLUS is
an oral laxative suspension containing Sodium
Picosulfate, Milk of Magnesia and Liquid Paraffin. The
combination provides stimulant, osmotic and stool-softening/lubricating actions
and should be used for constipation only according to the current approved
product label and healthcare professional guidance.
Sodium Picosulfate is a stimulant laxative activated
in the colon, Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide suspension) promotes
osmotic water retention in the bowel, and Liquid Paraffin acts mainly as a
lubricant and stool softener. The supplied strengths are preserved exactly, but
because no per-volume serving basis was supplied, the exact amount per measured
dose must be verified from the approved product label.
Each labelled dose contains:
·
Sodium Picosulfate - 3.33 mg | Milk of
Magnesia - 3.75 ml
·
Liquid Paraffin - 1.25 ml
·
Suspension base / excipients - q.s. The
supplied brief gives ingredient quantities but does not state the measured
serving volume to which they apply; exact concentration/quantity per measured
dose must be verified from the approved product label.
Dosage form: Oral Suspension
Uses of PIC-OUT PLUS
PIC-OUT PLUS may
be used for short-term relief of constipation where this combination is
approved and clinically appropriate.
·
Sodium Picosulfate stimulates colonic motility
to promote bowel evacuation
·
Milk of Magnesia draws water into the bowel
and helps soften stool
·
Liquid Paraffin lubricates and softens stool
to facilitate passage
·
The combination may support bowel evacuation
in selected patients with constipation when used appropriately
How PIC-OUT PLUS
Works
PIC-OUT PLUS combines three laxative mechanisms:
Sodium Picosulfate: A stimulant laxative
converted by colonic bacteria to an active metabolite that stimulates colonic
peristalsis and promotes bowel movement.
Milk of Magnesia: Contains magnesium
hydroxide, which acts mainly as an osmotic laxative by retaining water in the
intestinal lumen and softening stool.
The overall response depends on the exact dose, hydration, diet, bowel
function, kidney function, concurrent medicines and underlying cause of
constipation.
Laxatives
provide symptomatic relief but should not be used to mask persistent constipation
or symptoms of intestinal obstruction or other gastrointestinal disease.
Dosage
and Direction for Use
Use PIC-OUT PLUS according to the approved product label or
healthcare professional's advice. The supplied brief lists Sodium Picosulfate
3.33 mg, Milk of Magnesia 3.75 ml and Liquid Paraffin 1.25 ml but does not
state the measured serving volume containing these quantities, so no per-ml or
per-5-ml dose has been inferred.
Shake
the suspension well before use and measure the recommended quantity accurately
with a calibrated measuring cup, spoon or oral syringe as appropriate.
Children, older adults, pregnancy, breastfeeding and patients with
kidney disease, electrolyte disorders or chronic bowel problems require
individualized professional guidance.
Possible
Side Effects
Possible
adverse effects may include:
·
Abdominal cramps, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea or urgency
·
Nausea, bloating or altered bowel habits
·
Excessive laxative use can cause dehydration and electrolyte
disturbances
·
Magnesium may accumulate in significant renal impairment, while
prolonged or inappropriate Liquid Paraffin use can have additional
gastrointestinal and aspiration-related concerns in susceptible patients
Any persistent or troublesome adverse effect should be discussed with a
healthcare professional.
Precautions
and Contraindications
·
Review the complete approved label before use, particularly in patients
with kidney impairment, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities, swallowing
difficulty or persistent gastrointestinal symptoms.
·
Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient and
do not use when intestinal obstruction, ileus, acute surgical abdomen or severe
unexplained abdominal pain is suspected unless specifically medically directed.
·
Patients with significant renal impairment require caution because
magnesium can accumulate and cause toxicity.
·
Prolonged or frequent stimulant-laxative use may contribute to
fluid/electrolyte imbalance and should be avoided unless medically supervised.
·
Liquid Paraffin requires caution in patients with swallowing difficulty
or aspiration risk and should not be used indiscriminately for prolonged
periods.
·
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, infants, children and frail older adults
require appropriate approved-label and professional guidance.
·
Check sweeteners, flavours, preservatives and potential allergens on the
final approved label.
·
Drug Interaction Considerations
·
Diarrhoea or altered gastrointestinal transit can affect absorption of
some oral medicines. Electrolyte loss from excessive laxative use may increase
risks with medicines affected by potassium or fluid balance.
Magnesium-containing products can also interfere with absorption of some
medicines, so current medicine-specific spacing guidance should be followed.
