Product Description.:

Uses for Bisacodyl
Constipation

Used as a stimulant laxative to relieve occasional constipation.a c e f g h i

Has a more pronounced laxative effect than mild laxatives (e.g., anthraquinones such as cascara sagrada [no longer commercially available in the US]) but less pronounced than the violent purgation produced by castor oil.c

Use of stimulant laxatives for simple constipation is seldom necessary or desirable.c

If a stimulant laxative is used, senna derivatives may be preferred.c

Used to treat constipation that occurs following prolonged bed rest or hospitalization.c

Does Your Child Have ADHD? Recognizing Signs & Treatment Options

Used to treat chronic constipation associated with opiate therapy.e

Because bisacodyl may be distributed into milk, other laxatives usually are preferred for postpartum constipation.c

Stimulant laxatives have been used to treat constipation resulting from the diminished colonic motor response in geriatric patients but, because this type of constipation is frequently due to psychological or physical laxative dependence, the bulk-forming laxatives are preferred.c

Stimulant laxatives are used to treat constipation occurring secondary to the idiopathic slowing of transit time, to constipating drugs, or to irritable bowel or spastic colon syndrome.c

Stimulant laxatives have been used to treat constipation in patients with neurologic constipation.c
Bowel Cleansing

Used orally and/or rectally (as suppositories or enemas) to empty the bowel prior to surgery or radiographic, proctoscopic, or endoscopic (e.g., sigmoidoscopic, proctoscopic) procedures, when thorough evacuation is essential.a c e Oral therapy often is supplemented with rectal evacuants.b c k j

Used orally or rectally as a laxative for postoperative, antepartum, or postpartum care.i

Enemas are used to cleanse the colon postoperatively.c i

Suppositories may be used to cleanse the colon in pregnant women prior to delivery if they are given at least 2 hours before onset of the second stage of labor.c

Usually supplemented with administration of rectal evacuants, such as saline, stimulant, or soapsuds enemas, immediately before radiographic procedures.c

Bisacodyl tannex is added to barium sulfate enemas to aid in coating the intestinal mucosa and enhance colonic evacuation prior to radiographic examination of the colon.c
