Q. What’s the difference between DulcoLax® Adult Tablets and DulcoEase® Capsules?
A. DulcoLax® Adult Tablets contain bisacodyl, which works overnight (6–12 hours) to gently stimulate the bowel muscles and help things move along. They also draw water and salts into the bowel for added support.
DulcoEase® Capsules contain docusate sodium, which works by softening stools and gently encouraging a bowel movement.
Q. Who can take DulcoLax® Adult Tablets?
A. They are suitable for adults aged 18 and over.
Q. Can I take DulcoLax® Adult Tablets if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
A. DulcoLax® is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always speak to your pharmacist or doctor for safe alternatives.
Q. How long can I use them for?
A. DulcoLax® shouldn’t be taken daily or long-term. Use them for no more than 5 days at a time, and only when needed. Overuse can cause dehydration or changes in mineral balance. If constipation continues, seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist.
Q. What’s the right dose?
A. Adults (18+) should start with 1 tablet daily. If needed, the dose can be increased to 2 tablets per day. Always take the lowest effective dose.
Q. When should I take DulcoLax® Adult Tablets?
A. Take the tablets in the evening before bed. They usually work by morning (6–12 hours later). Swallow whole with water – don’t chew. Avoid taking them with milk, antacids, or stomach acid-reducing medicines.
Q. Do they have any side effects?
A. Some people may experience stomach cramps or diarrhoea. If side effects occur, stop taking them and speak to your doctor.
Q. Who should not take DulcoLax® Adult Tablets?
A. Do not take if you:
Are allergic to bisacodyl or any ingredients
Are severely dehydrated
Have a blocked bowel, ileus, or appendicitis
Have severe stomach pain with nausea and vomiting
Have inflammation of the bowel
Cannot digest certain sugars (they contain small amounts of lactose and sucrose)
Q. What types of laxatives are there?
A. Different laxatives work in different ways:
Stimulant laxatives (like DulcoLax®) – stimulate bowel muscles and hydrate stools
Stool softeners (like DulcoEase®) – soften hard stools for easier passing
Suppositories – fast-acting, inserted into the rectum to stimulate a bowel movement
Fibre supplements – add bulk, making stools softer and easier to pass
Osmotic laxatives – draw water into the bowel to keep things moving
Q. Where can I buy DulcoLax® Adult Tablets?
A. They’re widely available in pharmacies, supermarkets, and online retailers including LloydsPharmacy, Superdrug, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Waitrose, and Amazon.co.uk.
Q. Do laxatives help with weight loss?
A. No – laxatives don’t reduce calorie or nutrient absorption, so they don’t help with weight loss. Misuse can cause diarrhoea, stomach cramps, and dehydration. Dulco® products should only be used for occasional constipation relief.
