SPLAC Oral Solution 5 mg/5 ml contains Sodium Picosulfate, a stimulant laxative commonly used to relieve constipation and prepare the bowel for diagnostic procedures. Unlike tablets, this oral solution provides a flexible and easily administered liquid form, making it particularly suitable for adults and patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets. SPLAC Oral Solution works by stimulating the colon to promote bowel movements, ensuring effective and predictable relief from occasional constipation.

Therapeutic Indications

SPLAC Oral Solution 5 mg/5 ml is indicated for:

• Relief of occasional constipation

• Evacuation of the bowel before colonoscopy, radiological procedures, or surgery

• Management of bowel irregularities in patients needing short-term intervention

It is intended for short-term use under medical supervision and is not recommended for prolonged self-treatment.

Mechanism of Action

Sodium Picosulfate is a prodrug that is converted into its active form by intestinal bacteria in the colon. The active metabolite stimulates the mucosal lining of the large intestine, increasing peristaltic activity—wave-like contractions that move stool through the bowel.

Additionally, SPLAC Oral Solution promotes the secretion of water and electrolytes into the colon, softening the stool and facilitating easier passage. This dual mechanism ensures rapid and effective relief, typically within 6 to 12 hours after administration.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose for Adults: Usually 5–10 mg (5–10 ml of the oral solution) taken once daily.

• Administration: Measure the required dose using a calibrated dosing device and swallow the solution orally.

• Timing: Preferably taken in the evening to produce a bowel movement the following morning.

For bowel preparation before medical procedures, the dosage may vary according to physician instructions. Patients should follow the prescribed regimen strictly to ensure proper bowel cleansing and avoid complications.
