FAQs

Can children use laxatives?

Yes, when used as directed, Dulcolax® Pink Laxative Tablets can be used for children age 6+. The recommended dosage is 1 tablet a day for children 6 to 12 years old. For children under 6 consult your doctor.

Is constipation common during pregnancy?

Yes! Your body is making more of the hormone progesterone during pregnancy, which relaxes your bowel muscles and makes it harder for them to do their job. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a healthcare professional before using a laxative.
