Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative, given either orally or rectally, acting directly on the colonic mucosa where it stimulates sensory nerve endings to produce parasympathetic reflexes resulting in increased peristaltic contractions of the colon. The contact action of the drug is restricted to the colon and motility in the small intestine is not appreciably influenced. FLEET® Stimulant Laxative Tablets usually work within 6-12 hours. FLEET® Laxative Suppositories produce a bowel movement within 15 minutes to 1 hour and the latex free FLEET® Bisacodyl Enema produces a bowel movement within 15-20 minutes. Bisacodyl is useful as a laxative for occasional relief of constipation, in bowel cleansing in preparation for X-ray and endoscopic examination. May be used as a laxative in postoperative, antepartum, or postpartum care or in preparation for delivery.
Do not use a laxative product when nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain is present unless directed by a physician. If you notice a sudden change in bowel habits that persists over a period of 2 weeks, consult a physician before using a laxative. Rectal bleeding or failure to have a bowel movement after use of a laxative may indicate a serious condition. Discontinue use and consult a physician. Laxative products should not be used longer than 1 week unless directed by a physician. As with any drug, if you are pregnant or nursing a baby, seek the advice of a health professional before using this product. This product may cause abdominal discomfort, faintness, and cramps. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of accidental overdose or ingestion, seek professional assistance or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.
