Used primarily as a bowel preparation agent before colonoscopy procedures, this solution effectively cleanses the colon by inducing watery diarrhea through osmotic action. It draws water into the intestines, promoting frequent bowel movements to clear intestinal contents without significant absorption into the bloodstream. Commonly administered in split-dose regimens, it ensures optimal visualization of the colon lining during endoscopic exams. Also used in managing severe constipation in adults and children, particularly in cases of fecal impaction, due to its ability to soften stool and stimulate evacuation. Its non-stimulant mechanism makes it suitable for short-term and occasional use with minimal systemic effects.
