Product Information
Full details
The Dulcolax Pico Liquid is an oral medication designed for adults and children over 12 experiencing occasional constipation. Its key benefit is providing gentle relief within 6 to 12 hours. A potential caveat is that it should only be used for short-term treatment, not exceeding 5 consecutive days. This liquid formula offers a convenient alternative for those who prefer not to use tablets or suppositories, working by stimulating bowel muscles for natural movement.
