PICO-SALAX® is a bowel prep medication used by adults and children to clean the colon before a colonoscopy.

PICO-SALAX® cleanses your colon by causing you to have diarrhea. Cleansing your colon helps your doctor see the lining of your colon clearly during your colonoscopy.

PICO-SALAX® is the bowel prep with the least volume of prep solution, available in orange and cranberry flavour. PICO-SALAX allows you to drink any recommended clear liquids at your own pace, to maintain hydration during the prep process.


Each sachet contains the following active ingredients:

Sodium Picosulfate 10.0 milligrams

Magnesium Oxide 3.5 grams

Citric Acid 12.0 grams

An opening in the wall of your stomach or intestines (bowel perforation)

Problems with the emptying of food and fluid from your stomach (gastric retention)

An allergy to any of the ingredients in PICO-SALAX®

Congestive heart failure

PICO-SALAX® is a white powder and is packaged in sachet format (either single or double sachet package). PICO-SALAX® causes diarrhea that, over time, cleans the solid waste from your colon. How is PICO-SALAX® taken?
