Laxative, 12+ Years (Bisacodyl Bp)

Bisacodyl works by directly irritating the lining of the colon, which stimulates peristaltic contractions and increases fluid secretion into the intestinal lumen. This combined action softens stool and promotes its movement through the bowel, resulting in a bowel movement.

The appropriate dose of Laxative, 12+ Years is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition severity, and response to therapy. Dosage instructions are provided on the prescription label and should be followed exactly as directed.

Bisacodyl’s pregnancy category is listed as unknown. Use during pregnancy or lactation should only occur when clearly needed and after a careful assessment of potential benefits versus risks by a qualified healthcare provider.

Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative that acts locally on the colon, whereas bulk‑forming agents such as psyllium increase stool volume, and osmotic laxatives like polyethylene glycol draw water into the bowel. Compared with senna, another stimulant, bisacodyl generally has a slightly faster onset of action.

Laxative, 12+ Years should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in the original container, protect them from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure they are out of reach of children.

The product is supplied as oral tablets. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably on an empty stomach or as directed by the prescriber. Do not crush or chew the tablet unless specifically instructed.

Serious risks include electrolyte imbalance, particularly loss of potassium, which can cause muscle weakness or cardiac arrhythmias, and severe dehydration. Patients experiencing persistent diarrhea, dizziness, or signs of electrolyte disturbance should seek medical attention promptly.

Bisacodyl should be avoided in individuals with known or suspected intestinal obstruction, perforated bowel, acute abdominal pain of unknown cause, severe inflammatory bowel disease, or hypersensitivity to bisacodyl or any excipients in the tablet.
