Effective short-term relief from occasional constipation, 20 tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow a stimulant laxative works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBisacodyl nudges the bowel muscle back into action and draws water into the stool — direct treatment for a system that's stalled, rather than bulking agents that need days. The gastro-resistant coating is why the tablet must be swallowed whole: crushed or chewed, it releases too early and cramps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to take\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdults: start with 1 tablet before bed — step up to 2 only if needed. Swallow whole with water; avoid milk, antacids or indigestion remedies within an hour (they break the coating early). Short-term use only: if you need it beyond a few days, that's a pharmacist conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstipation deserves fixing, not managing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFibre, fluids and movement fix most constipation long-term; a stimulant laxative is the reset button. As the pack itself says: it does not help with weight loss, and overuse can be harmful — chronic laxative use makes bowels lazier, not better.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dulcolax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730142306691,"sku":"0002691","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/71tQUwVAI8L._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1785933676","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/dulcolax-adult-5mg-gr-tablets","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
