Constipation

<p>SECTION_START: Overview</p> <h3>What are Dulcolax Tablets</h3><p>Dulcolax Tablets are trusted around the world as a gentle, reliable and easy to take treatment for constipation. They are ideal if you are looking for overnight relief in particular. Each tablet contains a precisely measured amount of the active ingredient, bisacodyl, which ensures that Dulcolax Tablets are predictable and reliable. Within 6-12 hours of taking one dose, the colon can be gently stimulated and constipation is soon relieved.</p><p>Dulolax Tablets are known to be easy to take, as they have a special comfort coating that ensure the active ingredient is released right where it is needed. The Dulcolax Comfort Coating resists the acidic digestive juices of the stomach and the small intestine and dissolves only when it reaches the alkaline non-acidic environment of the colon.</p><h3>Drug Safety Update: measures for stimulant laxatives.</h3><p><strong>Stimulant laxatives should only be used if other laxatives bulk-forming and osmotic are ineffective. Children younger than 12 years should not use stimulant laxatives without advice from a prescriber and clinical guidance should be followed.</strong></p><p>SECTION_END: Overview</p <p>SECTION_START: Ingredients</p> <p><b>Active ingredient: </b>Bisacodyl 5mg.</p><p><b>Other ingredients: </b>lactose, maize starch, sucrose, glycerol, magnesium stearate, talc, acacia, white beeswax, shellac, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide E171, yellow iron oxide E172, methacrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, dibutyl phthalate, macrogol 6000.</p><p>SECTION_END: Ingredients</p> <p>SECTION_START: Usage</p <h3>How to use Dulcolax Tablets</h3><P>Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist have told you.
