Description
Dulcolax Twelve Plus Pico Liquid
Dulcolax Twelve Plus Pico Liquid relieves short-term occasional constipation in adults and children aged 12 years and over. The active ingredient is sodium picosulfate, a stimulant laxative which works by increasing bowel movements. Stimulant laxatives do not reduce the absorption of calories or nutrients therefore do not aid with weight loss.
Dulcolax Twelve Plus Pico Liquid is fruit flavoured and sugar free.

- Dulcolax Twelve Plus Pico Liquid contains 4.8 vol % ethanol (alcohol), i.e. up to 480mg per 10ml dose, equivalent to 10.4ml beer or 4.3ml of wine per 10ml dose. This may be harmful for people with a drink problem (alcoholism). This should also be taken into account in pregnant or breast-feeding women, children and high risk groups such as those with liver disease or epilepsy.
- Dulcolax Twelve Plus Pico Liquid contains the preservatives methyl parahydroxybenzoate and propyl parahydroxybenzoate. These ingredients may cause allergic reactions, which may not happen after the first dose. The signs may include: a rash, swelling of your skin, mouth and face which may cause swallowing or breathing problems.
- You are allergic (hypersensitive) to sodium picosulfate or any of the other ingredients in the product.

can affect the way Dulcolax Twelve Plus Pico Liquid works. In particular, tell your pharmacist or doctor if you are taking:
- Water tablets (diuretics) such as bendrofluazide or furosemide (frusemide).
- Steroid medicines such as prednisolone.
- Antibiotics - used for infections.
It may be harmful to take too much Dulcolax Twelve Plus Pico Liquid or take it for too long. This is because taking too much for too long may lead to:
- Imbalance of fluid and salts in the body. This can affect the tightness of muscles such as those in the bowel. It can also affect the salts in the blood.
- Low levels of potassium in the blood (called 'hypokalaemia'). This can make you tired, dizzy, make your muscles weak and cause an uneven heartbeat.
- Dehydration, making you thirsty, feel faint and giving you headaches. It can also mean you cannot pass enough urine.
