It is necessary to clean the intestines, so that the intestinal wall is clearly visible. It contains two active ingredients: sodium picosulfate and magnesium citrate. The sodium picosulfate stimulates the movements (peristalsis) of the colon as well as of the rectum. The magnesium citrate works by retaining moisture in the intestines to achieve bowel emptying and bowel cleansing. Picoprep has an orange flavor. Picoprep can also be used to prepare patients for other medical procedures, such as X-rays and certain surgical procedures that require an empty and clean bowel.
