Bohm Evacuant Solution belongs to a group of medications called osmotic laxatives that induce intestinal evacuation.

Bohm Evacuant Solution is indicated in adults for:

• Cleaning the digestive system prior to a colonoscopy, surgery, radiological examination, and other examinations of the digestive or genitourinary system.
• Treatment of chronic constipation of non-organic cause (not originating from the body), which has previously been treated without satisfactory results with a high-fiber and water diet and increased daily physical exercise.

• If you have a stomach or intestinal ulcer.
• If you have delayed stomach emptying.
• If you have difficult or obstructed intestinal passage, such as intestinal obstruction or ileus.
• If you have an inflammatory disease of the intestine, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and megacolon.
