Bisacodyl 5mg Tablets work as a stimulant laxative, effectively helping to relieve occasional constipation by encouraging the movement of the bowel muscles. Each tablet contains 5mg of bisacodyl, promoting overnight relief and helping to restore the body’s natural rhythm. Bisacodyl is commonly used for short-term relief of constipation and can also be administered before medical examinations. The gastro-resistant tablets ensure that the active ingredient is released where it is needed most, in the bowel.

  • Effective relief from constipation: Provides relief within 6-12 hours.
  • Gastro-resistant coating: Protects the stomach and ensures the active ingredient works where needed.
  • Convenient dosage: Typically taken once daily before bedtime.
