Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative used for the short-term relief of occasional constipation.
Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative that works by increasing the amount of fluid/salts in the intestines. This effect usually results in a bowel movement within 15 to 60 minutes.
The normal frequency of bowel movements varies from once daily to 1 to 2 times weekly. Constipation is best treated by drinking plenty of fluids (four to six 8-ounce glasses daily), eating foods high in fiber, and exercising regularly.
This product is not recommended for use in children younger than 6 years unless directed by a doctor.
