What is the English name for the Japanese medication "purusenido"?

Question

It is a tiny, shiny, red pill and I think it is used for cleansing ones bowels for a colonoscopy in Japan. What is its chemical makeup? What are its risk factors?

Answer 1

If you don't know what it is, don't take it.

Why do you want to know? Did someone leave it laying around?

Answer 2

searching the internet and found this:

プレセニド＝下剤

purusenido = laxative
