Frequently asked questions
What is DulcoLax® Suppositories for?
DulcoLax® Suppositories is a stimulant laxative that provides effective and fast relief for those experiencing occasional constipation. This is a product suitable for those looking for an alternative to tablets or looking for fast relief in as little as 15 to 60 minutes.
Who are DulcoLax® Suppositories for?
DulcoLax® Suppositories can be taken by adults and children over 12 years old. They are also suitable for breastfeeding women.
How long can I take Dulcolax® Suppositories?
This medication should not be taken on a continuous daily basis or for extended periods without seeking the recommendation of a health care professional. Prolonged excessive use may lead to fluid and electrolyte loss and potassium deficiency. Laxatives should be used for no more than 7 days. For a longer use, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.
When should I take DulcoLax® Suppositories?
DulcoLax® Suppositories can be taken at any time during the day, keeping in mind that the effect usually occurs within 15 to 60 minutes.
Do not take DulcoLax® Suppositories within two hours of another medication because the desired effect of the other medication may be reduced.
How are DulcoLax® Suppositories supposed to be taken?
Unwrap the suppository from its foil covering. Dip the tip of the suppository for a few seconds in lukewarm water to soften the exterior. Lie down on your side and raise your opposite knee to your chest. Relax the buttock just before inserting the suppository to ease insertion. Gently insert the suppository, lubricated pointed end first, high into rectum so that it will not slip out. Push the flat end of the suppository sideways to make sure that part of it touches the wall of the rectum. Continue to lie down for a few minutes and hold the buttocks together to allow the suppository to dissolve in the rectum. Try to retain the suppository in the rectum as long as possible. It will dissolve and your body will eliminate it along with the stool.
Is it safe to take DulcoLax® Suppositories while breastfeeding?
Clinical data shows that bisacodyl is not excreted into the milk of breastfeeding women, making DulcoLax® Suppositories safe to use while breastfeeding.
However, please consult your doctor before taking DulcoLax® Suppositories.
What is the difference between DulcoLax® Suppositories and DulcoLax® Tablets
The main difference between the two products is the onset of action. When taking DulcoLax® suppositories, you can expect relief from your occasional constipation within 15 to 60 minutes.
