TWO-WAY ACTION
Dulcolax relieves constipation
- By stimulating the bowel muscles through a series of natural pulsed motions called peristalsis.
- By accumulating water into the intestines resulting in the softening of its contents. These two features encourage natural bowel movements.
Dulcolax Tablets, containing bisacodyl, work
within 6-12 hours so that when taken at night Dulcolax Tablets provide relief the next morning.
Dulcolax Suppositories, containing bisacodyl, take effect directly in the
rectum and provide more immediate relief within 15-60 minutes.
Dulcolax SP Drops, containing sodium picosulfate,
which is converted into the same active form as Dulcolax Tablets in the large intestine and provides
relief of constipation within 6-12 hours.
Dulcolax Tablets are designed with a special comfort coating which works in such a way that the active ingredient is transported unchanged through the stomach and small intestine. This allows the active ingredient to become available in the colon where it exerts its effect. Unlike many other drugs, only very small amounts of bisacodyl (Dulcolax Tablets & Suppositories) and sodium picosulfate (Dulcolax SP Drops) enters the blood stream and therefore have very few side effects. Both ingredients are well tolerated.
