Dulcolax Suppositories
Dulcolax Suppositories contain bisacodyl and provide fast, short-term relief from occasional constipation. They are inserted rectally and usually work within minutes.
Select Quantity
Dulcolax Suppositories contain bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative that acts directly on the lower bowel to trigger bowel movements. Because they are used rectally, they work more quickly than tablets.
Relief typically occurs within 10–45 minutes, making them suitable when rapid action is needed. Dulcolax Suppositories are intended for short-term use only and should not be used regularly.
How do I use Dulcolax Suppositories?
Remove the foil and gently insert one suppository into the rectum, pointed end first. Use once daily if needed.
How quickly do they work?
Most people experience relief within 10–45 minutes.
How often can I use them?
Do not use for more than 5 consecutive days unless advised by a healthcare professional.
Can I use suppositories instead of tablets?
Yes. Suppositories may be preferred if quicker relief is required or if oral medicines are not suitable.
Are there any side effects?
Possible side effects include rectal irritation, abdominal cramps, or diarrhoea. These usually resolve after stopping treatment.
Who should not use Dulcolax Suppositories?
Do not use if you have severe abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, severe dehydration, or an allergy to bisacodyl. Seek medical advice if pregnant or breastfeeding.
