Picolax tips?

[Mess_music]

Hi, just wondering if anyone here has taken Picolax before? It's used for bowel prep for colonoscopies but I have to take it as I have an impacted bowel. Does anyone know how long the effects of one sachet takes? Thanks.

Has anyone bought Picolax from chemist or is it prescription only

Thanks very much. I had a good clear out last night and I think I'm over the worst if it now. I have a colonoscopy coming up in a few months and I'll gave to take it again then! I'm worried that I'll still be needing to go to the toilet on the way to the hospital because the picolax has taken so long to wear off!

Thanks. I had a few litres over the last few hours!
