pharmachologic effect
Pharmacological group:
Laxative.
Pharmacodynamics:
The active ingredient – sodium picosulfate is a laxative triarylmethane groups. As local laxative sodium picosulphate after bacterial cleavage in the colon has a stimulating effect on the mucosa of colon, increasing motility, promotes accumulation of water and electrolytes into the colon. This leads to the stimulation of defecation, reduction of evacuation time and softening stool.
Sodium picosulphate being a laxative, acting at the level of the colon, it stimulates the natural process of evacuation of the contents of the lower gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, picosulfate sodium has no effect on the digestion or absorption of food or calorie essential nutrients in the small intestine.
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption: insignificant, the drug is almost completely metabolized in the intestinal wall and liver to inactive glucuronide.
After oral administration of sodium picosulfate extends in an unmodified form through the stomach and small intestine, entering the large intestine. The absorption of the drug is low, which excludes its enterohepatic circulation. The distal large intestine occurs sodium picosulphate cleavage to form the active metabolite, bis (p-hydroxyphenyl) -pyridyl-2-methane. Time development of a laxative effect of the drug is determined by the release rate of the active metabolite and is 6-12 hours.
The relationship between the laxative effect of the active metabolite and its concentration in serum is absent.
Upon receiving the 10 mg dose inwardly about 10.4% of the total dose is excreted by the kidneys as glucuronide after 48 hours.
In the application of higher doses its excretion by the kidneys generally decreases.
