Bisacodyl should only be used to provide short-term relief from constipation.
If you are still constipated after using bisacodyl for five days, you should see your doctor.
Eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water and getting regular gentle exercise can all help maintain good bowel function.
Indication:
- Constipation
- Before some surgery and medical examinations
Direction:
Take one or two 5 mg tablets with a drink of water (do not take with milk). Bisacodyl tablets take about 10-12 hours to work; therefore, they are best taken at bedtime. Do not chew or break the tablets.
