Dulcolax 5Mg 40Tab

Dulcolax is a medication used to treat constipation. It belongs to the class of laxatives and works by facilitating bowel movements. It contains the active ingredient Bisacodyl, which helps relieve symptoms associated with constipation.

Bisacodyl works by stimulating the nerves in the intestines, leading to increased bowel movement. This stimulation helps speed up the process of elimination and reduces the time food spends in the intestines. Dulcolax is effectively used in cases of acute and chronic constipation, and it can also be used before certain medical procedures such as colonoscopy.
