Aristopharma Ltd. has launched Sodipic 10 mg Tablet & Sodipic 5 mg/5ml oral solution, which is a preparation of Sodium Picosulfate, a stimulant laxative
Sodipic (Sodium Picosulfate BP) is a triarylmethane group derivative stimulant laxative. After oral administration it is activated by the colonic bacteria and acts locally in the colon. The active form then stimulates the nerve endings of the intestinal wall and results in colonic peristalsis with the promotion of accumulation of water and electrolytes in the colonic lumen. This results in stimulation defecation, reduction of transit time and softening of the stool. Stimulation of the rectum causes increased motility and a feeling of rectal fullness. The rectal effect may help to restore the "call to stool".
