Laxans (Bisacodyl)

Bisacodyl is hydrolysed in the colon to an active metabolite that stimulates the enteric nerves, increasing peristaltic activity. It also promotes secretion of water and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen, creating a softer stool and accelerating its transit through the colon.

The appropriate dose of Laxans is determined by a qualified health‑care professional based on the individual’s condition, age and response. Over‑the‑counter products typically advise a single adult dose of one tablet, but the prescriber’s instructions should always be followed.

Safety data for bisacodyl in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product is classified as having an unknown pregnancy category. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using Laxans.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Laxans product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Laxans (bisacodyl) is a stimulant laxative, which acts directly on the colon to increase motility. This differs from osmotic laxatives such as lactulose that draw water into the bowel, or bulk‑forming agents that increase stool volume. Stimulant laxatives generally work faster but may cause more abdominal cramping.

Store Laxans at room temperature, ideally below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in the original container, protect them from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the package is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

Laxans is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed. For bowel‑preparation regimens, the timing and number of tablets are directed by the prescribing clinician.

Serious adverse events, though rare, include severe electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling, colitis, and rectal bleeding. Patients experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention promptly.

Laxans should be avoided in individuals with known or suspected intestinal obstruction, acute abdominal conditions, severe inflammatory bowel disease, or hypersensitivity to bisacodyl. It is also not recommended for chronic use without medical supervision.
