It reduces the pain and discomfort and improves your quality of life. Picolax Suspension might take 1-2 days to work. Take Picolax Suspension as instructed and do not stop without consulting your doctor. To prevent constipation it is advisable to eat more high-fiber foods including fruit and vegetables and drink plenty of water.
