Dulcolax for women tablets 5mg 50ct

Dulcolax® for Women Laxative Tablets belong to a group of medicines known as stimulant laxatives. Each small tablet contains a precisely-measured amount of the active ingredient bisacodyl, which stimulates bowel muscles while retaining water in the intestines. The effect is to soften the stool and make it pass through more quickly. Each tablet has a special coating to ensure that the active ingredient is released right where it’s needed. The coating resists the acidic digestive juices of the stomach and small intestine. Dulcolax® for WomenTablets are formulated differently than Ducolax® Laxative Tablets. However both products contain the same quantity of the active ingredient, bisacodyl 5 mg and have the same mode of action. Dulcolax® for Women Tablets are enteric coated pink tablets whereas Dulcolax® Laxative Tablets are enteric coated yellow tablets. Both products can be used by either men or women.
