Dulcolax Adult 5mg Gastro Resistant - 20 Tablets
Dulcolax Tablets have a dual action as they work in two ways to relieve constipation. Not only do Dulcolax Tablets deliver gentle overnight relief from constipation by gently stimulating the muscles of the bowel but also let your body know when it needs to go. So they provide a predictable and reliable outcome.
Dulcolax tablets are laxatives that use an ingredient called bisacodyl to relieve your constipation. Take 1 - 2 tablets before you go to bed at night and they’ll get to work as you sleep, letting you see results in 6 - 12 hours. If you’re an adult suffering from short term constipation, Dulcolax could be the perfect way to help you get regular again.
How will the bisacodyl in Dulcolax tablets relieve my constipation?
Dulcolax tablets each contain 5mg of an active ingredient called bisacodyl, which is a type of medication called a stimulant laxative. Stimulant laxatives work by stimulating the muscles in your bowel, helping to move poo through your bowel so it can be passed more easily. This helps to relieve your constipation and encourages your bowel movements to return to regularity.
