This medication is a strong saline laxative used to thoroughly cleanse the intestines before certain medical tests or surgical procedures, such as colonoscopy or X-ray imaging. This medication works by increasing the fluid content in the intestines, which softens the stool and makes it easier to expel. The medication consists of three main salts:
- Magnesium Sulfate: A magnesium salt that acts as a laxative by drawing water into the intestines.
- Sodium Sulfate: A sodium salt that also helps draw water into the intestines.
- Sodium Phosphate: A phosphate salt that helps increase bowel movement and soften the stool.
