Sansoft contains sodium picosulfate which is a stimulant laxative. It works by directly acting on the intestines which result in increased peristalsis movement. It also softens the stools by drawing water into the bowel from the intestinal lumen. In this way Sansoft promotes the easier evacuation of the bowels which provides relief to the patient from constipation.
