Dulcolax 5mg 80 Tablets (S2)

Dulcolax 5mg Tablets provide dependable, gentle, overnight relief from constipation. Each tablet contains 5mg of bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative that acts directly on the colon to encourage natural bowel movement. By stimulating intestinal motility, Dulcolax helps restore regularity and ease discomfort associated with constipation, bloating and irregular bowel habits.

The small, enteric-coated tablets are designed to pass through the stomach intact and dissolve only in the intestine, minimising stomach irritation and supporting predictable results. This 80-tablet Pharmacy Only (S2) pack is ideal for individuals seeking a reliable solution for occasional constipation or for keeping on hand for intermittent, short-term relief.
