Picosulfate

A contact stimulant laxative, used for decades for constipation and, combined with magnesium salts, for bowel cleansing before colonoscopy: it works by increasing the peristalsis of the colon. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities and other impurities.
