The intestine is part of the digestive system. It breaks down food, extracting the nutrition that the body needs. Muscles along the intestine contract in a wave-like motion, which pushes the contents of the intestine along its length.

The large intestine (also known as the colon, or bowels) is the final stage of the digestive system. In a constipated person, the normal movement of waste material is slowed or stopped. Dulcolax® laxatives help return the intestine to its natural rhythm by stimulating the natural wave-like motion of the muscles.
