What is Dulcolax Pico Liquid?

Dulcolax Pico Liquid is primarily used for the treatment of constipation. It is also sometimes used to empty the bowel before a medical procedure or examination.

How does Dulcolax Pico Liquid work?

Dulcolax Pico Liquid works by stimulating the nerve endings in the walls of the large intestine and rectum. This stimulation causes the muscles in the intestine to contract more often and with increased force, leading to bowel movements.
