Pico-Salax is the #1 sold bowel preparation for procedures such as colon surgeries and colonoscopies. It is widely used in Europe and Canada. It is not yet approved for use in the USA.
Bowel preparation can be very unpleasant. The only prep regimes approved for use in the USA involve drinking very large quantities of medications, which can cause nausea and vomiting.
Pico-Salax, contrastingly, is a pleasant-tasting orange drink. The patient must consume 16 ounces of this liquid in one day, accompanied by normal beverages.
Many individuals avoid having screening colonoscopies simply because they are not willing to do the prep. Screening colonoscopies save lives and save money by preventing colon cancer or detecting it in its earlier stages, when it is easier and less expensive to treat. Having a more tolerable prep solution available would alleviate this.
For those individuals already diagnosed with colorectal diseases who must have endoscopies periodically, the availability of a humane solution would be of great comfort.

We are unable to determine the status of FDA approval for Pico-Salax. However, we urge you to move forward briskly through the approval process.
Thank you.
