Dulcolax Adult 5 mg Gastro-resistant Tablets - 20 Tablets (A)

Dulcolax Laxative Tablets is used for the short-term relied of occasional constipation. It offers gentle relief from the pain associated with constipation such as bloatedness. Dulcolax Laxatives have a special coating that helps to ensure the medicine targets only the areas that require attention, gently stimulating the large intestine (Bowel) helping reinstate your body's natural rhythm.

How to use:

• It is not recommended for children under 4 years.
• Adults and children over 10 years : Take one or two tablets (5 or 10 mg) daily before bedtime. If you have not taken Dulcolax Tablets before, start with one tablet and increase to two if necessary. When your bowel regularity has returned to normal, the dose can usually be stopped.
• Children aged between 4 and 10 years: Should only be given to children between the ages of 4 and 10 if recommended by a doctor. The usual dose for children is: One tablet (5 mg) daily before bedtime.

• Milk, antacids or proton pump inhibitors (medicines which reduce stomach acid) should not be taken within one hour before or after taking Dulcolax Tablets. This is because they will stop the Dulcolax Tablets from working properly.
