DulcoLax® suppositories, 6 ST

DulcoLax® suppositories are a laxative for the short-term treatment of constipation. They contain the active ingredient bisacodyl, which stimulates bowel activity and facilitates bowel movements.

Dulcolax suppositories are a laxative. By bringing the active ingredient bisacodyl into contact with the mucous membrane of the large intestine, they stimulate your bowel movements. When used correctly, Dulcolax suppositories have no effect in the stomach and small intestine. Therefore, they do not alter digestion or the absorption of calories and nutrients in the small intestine.
