Fleet Phospho-Soda Oral Saline Laxative 45ml(S3)

This medicine is used as part of a bowel cleansing procedure before x-ray of the bowel, colonoscopy (looking into the bowel with an instrument) or before a bowel operation.

It works by producing bowel motions which cleanse the bowel. It usually works within 30 minutes, although it may take as long as 6 hours. Expect frequent liquid stools. Stop using this product and consult a doctor if you do not have a bowel movement within 6 hours.

Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed for you.

Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason.

This medicine is not expected to affect your ability to drive a car or operate machinery. However, it will be impractical for you to do so, as you will need to stay close to a toilet until the cleansing effect is complete.
