Skilax treats constipation by helping regulate bowel movements. It contains the active ingredient sodium picosulfate, which stimulates the colon muscles to facilitate elimination. It is used before colonoscopy, X-rays, or even bowel surgeries.
Emptying the bowels is necessary, and Skilax is one way to stimulate bowel movements. It can be used in conjunction with stimulant laxatives that accelerate colon muscle contractions. Skelax can facilitate bowel emptying before the aforementioned medical procedures, making the process easier and more effective.
