DULCOLAX Suppositories contain a medicine called bisacodyl. This belongs to a group of medicines called laxatives.
\n\u2022 DULCOLAX Suppositories are used for relief of constipation.
\n\u2022 This medicine does not help with weight loss.
\n\u2022 DULCOLAX Suppositories are also used in hospitals to clear the bowel before surgery, X-rays or other tests.
\n\u2022 DULCOLAX Suppositories stimulate the muscles of the bowel (large intestine), helping to return the body to its natural rhythm. They have a laxative effect usually within 10 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Normal and regular bowel movement is important for most people. However, what is \u201cnormal and regular\u201d varies from person to person. Some may have a bowel movement every day, others less often. Whatever it is like for you, it is best that your bowel movement has a regular pattern.
\n\u2022 Constipation is an occasional problem for some people; for others, it may happen more often
\n\u2022 It happens when the normal muscle actions in the bowel (large intestine) slow down. This can mean that the material is not easily eliminated from the body.<\/p>\n
The cause of constipation is often not known. It can be associated with:
\n\u2022 Sudden change of diet
\n\u2022 A diet with not enough fibre
\n\u2022 Loss of \u2018tone\u2019 of the bowel muscles in older people
\n\u2022 Pregnancy
\n\u2022 Medicines such as morphine or codeine
\n\u2022 Having to stay in bed for a long time
\n\u2022 Lack of exercise
\nWhatever the cause, constipation is uncomfortable. It may make you feel bloated and heavy, or generally \u201coff colour\u201d.
\nSometimes it causes headaches.<\/p>\n
These healthy tips are recommended to try and prevent constipation happening:
\n\u2022 Eat a balanced diet including fresh fruit and vegetables
\n\u2022 Drink enough water so that you do not become dehydrated
\n\u2022 Keep up your exercise and stay fit
\n\u2022 Make time to empty your bowels when your body tells you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
