Bisacodyl (Dulcolax) – Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions, Warnings
Bisacodyl, branded as Dulcolax and available under various names like Durolax and Fleet, is a stimulant laxative used to relieve occasional constipation and prepare the bowel for medical procedures. It works by stimulating the colon’s nerves to increase bowel movements and fluid secretion, which helps soften the stool. Common side effects include abdominal cramping, bloating, nausea, and diarrhea, while serious effects like severe abdominal pain or rectal bleeding are rare. Dosage typically involves 5 to 15 mg orally once daily or a 10 mg suppository as needed. Caution is advised when using bisacodyl with other medications that affect electrolyte balance, and it should not be used with antacids or milk close to the dosage time. Prolonged use can lead to dependency and worsen constipation. It should be used carefully in individuals with certain gastrointestinal conditions and during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always follow healthcare provider guidelines for dosage and usage.
