Bisacodyl

Uses

Bisacodyl is used in the treatment of constipation.

How it Works

How Bisacodyl Works Bisacodyl is a laxative that functions by enhancing intestinal motility, thereby facilitating the passage of stool.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Bisacodyl include nausea, abdominal cramps, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Expert Advice

  • Together with Bisacodyl, a fiber-rich diet is essential for maintaining healthy bowel function. This diet should include:
    • Whole grain bread and cereals
    • Bran
    • Fruits
    • Green leafy vegetables
  • Avoid taking Bisacodyl for more than 1 week unless prescribed by a doctor, as prolonged use can lead to dependency on the laxative effect for bowel movements.
  • Take Bisacodyl at least 2 hours after other medications, as it may interfere with their absorption.
  • It is preferable to take Bisacodyl at bedtime, as it requires 6 to 8 hours to take effect.
