Description

Sodium Picosulfate inhibits absorption of water and electrolytes, and increases their secretion.Target: OthersSodium Picosulfate displays cytotoxic effects on cultured liver cells. 800 and 1600 mg/mL induces dose-dependently vacuolic and fatty change as well as necrosis combined with a lowered mitotic activity and a slight increase in LDH values of the rapidly growing cultured liver cells of rabbit. Comparable but less severe effects are observed in 4-day old liver cell cultures of rat,


Sodium picosulfate is an aryl sulfate and a member of pyridines.
