Mechanism of Action
Sodium picosulfate is a prodrug. It has no significant direct physiological effect on the intestine, however it is metabolised by gut bacteria into the active compound 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl-(2-pyridiyl)-methane (DPM, BPHM). This compound is a stimulant laxative and increases peristalsis in the gut.
