Dulcolax® Tablets, are gentle, reliably effective, and easy to take. Each small tablet contains a precise amount of the active ingredient, Bisacodyl, to ensure that Dulcolax® tablets never vary and are effective. Dulcolax® tablets are ideal for overnight relief from constipation, and they’re usually effective 6 to 12 hours after taking an individual dose. Always read the label.
Dulcolax® Tablets have the special Dulcolax® Comfort
Coating, ensuring that their active ingredient is released
exactly where it's needed: in the colon (the lower part of
your digestive
system). The Dulcolax® Comfort
Coating resists the digestive juices of the stomach and the
small intestine. It dissolves only when it reaches the correct
alkaline environment: the colon. Learn more about the special
Dulcolax® Comfort Coating by clicking the link above.
Please note that it is very important to avoid drinking milk or an antacid product around an hour before, or at the same time as taking Dulcolax® tablets. These liquids are alkaline, and can dissolve the "Comfort Coating" too quickly. For the same reason, Dulcolax® tablets should never be crushed or chewed before swallowing, otherwise the "Comfort Coating" is destroyed.
