Dulcolax Tablets are a type of medication that comes in the form of oral tablets. They are commonly used to relieve constipation. The active ingredient in Dulcolax Tablets is Bisacodyl, which is a stimulant laxative. These tablets work by stimulating the muscles in the intestines, causing them to contract and move the stool through the bowels.
Dulcolax Tablets are used to provide relief from constipation. Constipation is a condition in which a person experiences infrequent bowel movements or has difficulty passing stools. It can be uncomfortable and painful, and Dulcolax Tablets help to alleviate these symptoms by promoting bowel movements.
Dulcolax Tablets contain Bisacodyl, which is a stimulant laxative. When taken, the active ingredient stimulates the nerves in the colon, causing the muscles to contract. This action helps to move the stool through the intestines and facilitates bowel movements. It usually takes 6 to 12 hours for Dulcolax Tablets to produce their effects.
Dulcolax Tablets are suitable for adults and children over the age of 10 who are experiencing constipation. However, there are certain circumstances in which Dulcolax Tablets may not be suitable. These include individuals with a history of allergic reactions to Bisacodyl or any of the other ingredients in the tablets, as well as those with severe dehydration, abdominal pain, or intestinal blockage.
To take Dulcolax Tablets:
– Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water.
– Do not crush or chew the tablets.
– The usual dose for adults and children over 10 years old is one to two tablets at night.
– Do not take more than the recommended dose.
– Do not take Dulcolax Tablets for more than 5 days without consulting a doctor.
You can buy Dulcolax Tablets online from our online constipation treatment clinic by completing a free consultation. Once reviewed by a licensed pharmacist, your prescription will be issued, and your medication will be delivered in discrete packaging.
