Our history

Various packages of medical products, including

At DulcoLax®, we believe that when you are feeling good on the inside, you have the strength to seize all the possibilities the day has to offer. That is why 70 years ago, DulcoLax® pioneered the category with the invention of bisacodyl, to encourage the pursuit of a good flush. We are now present in 69 markets. Bisacodyl was first invented in 1948 in the laboratories of Dr. Karl Thomae and revolutionized constipation relief by developing the first oral laxative that was both effective and well tolerated as it worked directly in the gut.

For decades, we've been committed to developing a range of consumer-based, science-based innovative options to put gut health in consumers hands. Our range of six products in Canada ensures there is a solution for every need - from fast to overnight relief of occasional constipation in adults and children.
