How does it work ?
Once you've swallowed the tablets, the active ingredient, bisacodyl, will accelerate the stool transit through the colon with its dual action: stimulating the bowel muscles and rehydrating by accumulating water in the intestine to soften stool and help you go.
In addition, the gastro-resistant coating of the tablets ensures that the active content is released into the colon.
