NEW ZEALAND CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION DULCOLAX ® TABLETS AND SUPPOSITORIES _BISACODYL _ WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET This leaflet answers some common questions about DULCOLAX. It does not contain all available information, nor does it take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist. Keep this information with your DULCOLAX. You may need to read it again. _TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT DULCOLAX _ You should ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about DULCOLAX or if you have any trouble before, during or after using DULCOLAX. WHAT DULCOLAX IS USED FOR DULCOLAX is mainly used for the treatment of constipation. Under medical supervision, DULCOLAX can be used for the evacuation of the bowel before a radiological examination or as an enema alternative. DULCOLAX works by acting on the lining of the lower bowel to stimulate movement and promotes accumulation of water into the bowel to produce soft formed stools. Dulcolax is ineffective in altering the digestion or absorption of calories or essential nutrients in the small intestine. Stimulant laxatives including DULCOLAX do not help with weight loss.
