It contains 30 tablets.
Dulcolax Bisacodyl 5 mg is an over-the-counter laxative indicated for the treatment of occasional constipation. It contains bisacodyl, an active ingredient that stimulates the natural movements of the bowel, promoting the passage of stools and helping to relieve occasional episodes of constipation.
Each pack contains 30 enteric-coated Dulcolax tablets, designed to release the active ingredient in the gut, ensuring effective action when used in accordance with the instructions in the patient information leaflet.
This medicine is suitable for adults and children over 10 years of age, and is a suitable option for those who need occasional relief from constipation.
Dulcolax Bisacodyl 5mg is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of occasional constipation. It works by directly stimulating bowel motility, facilitating the passage of stools and promoting bowel movements.
Its effect usually sets in between 6 and 12 hours after taking it, so it is recommended that the tablets be taken preferably before going to bed.
Bisacodyl stimulates the natural movements of the bowel, promoting bowel movements when there is occasional difficulty in going to the toilet.
When taken before bedtime, the medicine usually takes effect in the early hours of the morning or the following morning.
Dulcolax tablets have an enteric coating that protects the active ingredient until it reaches the bowel.
Only one dose per day is required, always using the lowest effective dose to control symptoms.
The tablets should be swallowed whole with water, without chewing or breaking them.
Children aged between 2 and 10 years should only use this medicine on medical advice.
Dulcolax Bisacodyl 5 mg is indicated for adults and children over 10 years of age who experience occasional episodes of constipation.
It must not be used as a long-term treatment without medical supervision, as persistent constipation may require investigation to determine its cause.
Do not use this medicine in the following situations:
Avoid taking this medicine with milk, dairy products or medicines that reduce stomach acid, as these may interfere with the enteric coating.
As with other medicines, Dulcolax may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.
The most common include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, digestive discomfort, bloating and flatulence. In rare cases, allergic reactions, dehydration or angioedema may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.
Each enteric-coated tablet contains 5 mg of bisacodyl as the active ingredient. It also contains sucrose, lactose, maize starch, glycerol, magnesium stearate, talc, gum arabic, titanium dioxide and other excipients necessary for the enteric coating.
