Dulcolax® Tablets
Dulcolax® Tablets are ideal for people seeking overnight relief from constipation. They are trusted around the world as gentle, reliable and easy to take. Each small tablet contains a precisely-measured amount of the active ingredient, Bisacodyl. This ensures that Dulcolax® Tablets are particularly predictable and reliable: 6 to 12 hours after taking an individual dose, the colon is gently stimulated and constipation is relieved. Dulcolax® Tablets have the special Dulcolax® Comfort Coating, ensuring that the active ingredient is released right where it's needed: in the colon. The Dulcolax® Comfort Coating resists the acidic digestive juices of the stomach and small intestine. It dissolves only when it reaches an alkaline (non-acidic) environment: the colon. Learn more about the special Dulcolax® Comfort Coating by clicking the image below.

Please note that its very important to avoid drinking milk or an antacid product the same time as taking Dulcolax®. These liquids are alkaline, and can dissolve the Comfort Coating too early. For the same reason, Dulcolax® Tablets should never be crushed or chewed before swallowing, otherwise the comfort coating is not effective anymore. Please always read the leaflet in the package carefully, and ask your health advisor if you have questions.
