Frequently asked questions
How long does Dulcolax take to work?
Dulcolax tablets usually work within 6 to 12 hours, so they are often taken at bedtime to produce a result the next morning. Suppositories act much faster, typically within about 10 to 30 minutes.
How does Dulcolax work?
The bisacodyl in Dulcolax stimulates the muscles of the bowel to move and helps water stay in the bowel, which softens the stool and encourages a bowel movement. It treats the constipation rather than the cause.
What is Dulcolax?
Dulcolax is a stimulant laxative used for the short-term relief of constipation, available as tablets, suppositories and liquid. Different products suit different needs and speeds of action.
How many Dulcolax should I take?
The usual adult dose is one or two tablets, but always follow the label, as the dose differs by product and age. Do not exceed the stated dose or use it for more than a few days without advice.
Can I take Dulcolax in the morning?
You can, but because tablets take 6 to 12 hours to work, many people take them at night for a morning result. Choose the timing based on when you would like it to work and your daily routine.
How long will Dulcolax make you go for?
Once it works, Dulcolax usually produces a bowel movement rather than ongoing diarrhoea, though this varies from person to person. If constipation keeps returning, speak to your pharmacist or GP to look at the cause.
