PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ATC code: A06AB02
Bisacodyl is a locally acting laxative from the
diphenylmethane derivatives group having
a dual action. As a contact laxative, for which
also antiresorptive hydragogue effects have
been described, bisacodyl stimulates after
hydrolysis in the large intestine, the mucosa of
both the large intestine and of the rectum.
Stimulation of the mucosa of the large intestine
results in colonic peristalsis with promotion of
accumulation of water, and consequently
electrolytes, in the colonic lumen. This results
in a stimulation of defecation, reduction of
transit time and softening of the stool.
Stimulation of the rectum causes increased
motility and a feeling of rectal fullness. The
rectal effect may help to restore the “call to
stool” although its clinical relevance remains
to be established.
As a laxative that acts on the colon, bisacodyl
specifically stimulates the natural evacuation
process in the lower region of the
gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, bisacodyl is
ineffective in altering the digestion or
absorption of calories or essential nutrients in
the small intestine
PHARMACOKINETICS
Following either oral or rectal administration,
bisacodyl is rapidly hydrolyzed to the active
principle bis-(p- hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-
methane (BHPM), mainly by esterases of the
enteric mucosa.
Administration as an enteric coated tablet was
found to result in maximum BHPM plasma
concentrations between 4 - 10 hours post
administration whereas the laxative effect
occurred between 6 - 12 hours post
administration. In contrast, following the
