1.	Nephrocalcinosis 02/01/2007 - "MedLine and PubMed databases were systematically searched to identify studies related to the efficacy of altered PEG solutions combined with adjunct treatments; the efficacy, tolerability and safety of Pico-Salax; the association between nephrocalcinosis, and chronic renal failure and oral NaP use; and the role of diet. "

3.	Hypokalemia 12/01/2009 - "Serum biochemistry results were similar between groups except for more hypermagnesemia associated with Pico-Salax and hypokalemia with PEG-ELS; neither was clinically significant. " 07/01/2012 - "The proportion of individuals with hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and hypermagnesemia following two sachets of Pico-Salax is significant, but the magnitude of the changes was not clinically relevant in this relatively small group, and both calcium and potassium levels normalized at 24 h. "
4.	Hypocalcemia 03/01/2009 - "It does not differ from Pico-Salax alone, which lacks the hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia associated with oral sodium phosphate. " 07/01/2012 - "The proportion of individuals with hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and hypermagnesemia following two sachets of Pico-Salax is significant, but the magnitude of the changes was not clinically relevant in this relatively small group, and both calcium and potassium levels normalized at 24 h.
