Dulcolax Suppositories provide almost immediate relief from constipation – they’re
effective in 15 to 60 minutes. Like the tablets, the active
ingredient in Dulcolax® Suppositories is bisacodyl: which has an
established safety profile and is clinically proven. As with
all medicines, Dulcolax® Suppositories
should be avoided during pregnancy, especially during the
first trimester, unless the expected benefit is thought to
outweigh any possible risk to
the foetus. As always, it is important to consult your doctor
before using any medicines in pregnancy. Always read the label.
In Dulcolax® Suppositories the active ingredient is mixed
with a wax-like material which is firm at room temperature
but, at body temperature, melts to allow the active ingredient
to work
locally. Dulcolax® suppositories
are specially shaped so that they can be easily and gently inserted
into the rectum. They are especially useful for providing gentle,
effective constipation relief to individuals who have difficulty
swallowing their medicine. Your doctor may also advise you to
use a suppository before certain medical procedures.
