The maximum daily dose should not be exceeded. In the management of constipation, once regularity has been restarted dosage should be reduced and can usually be stopped. Children aged 10 years or younger with chronic or persistent constipation should only be treated under the guidance of a physician. Bisacodyl should not be used in children aged 4 years or younger. FOR PREPARATION OF DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES AND PREOPERATIVELY. For preparation of diagnostic procedures, in pre- and postoperative treatment when defaecation needs to be facilitated, DULCOLAX should be used under medical supervision. The tablets should be combined with suppositories in order to achieve complete evacuation of the intestine. Children aged 4 - 10 years of age: 1 coated tablet (5 mg) in the evening and 1 suppository (5 mg) on the following morning is recommended. For adults and children over 10 years of age the SmPC for Dulcolax 10 mg Suppositories should be consulted. INSTUCTIONS FOR USE: It is recommended to take the coated tablets at night to have a bowel movement the following morning. They should be swallowed whole with an adequate amount of fluid.
