Bisacodyl (5mg)
Active composition
Bisacodyl stimulates colonic peristalsis and increases fluid secretion in the intestines, promoting bowel movements.
Medical applications
Wescolax 5mg Tablet contains Bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative used primarily for the treatment of constipation and for bowel preparation prior to medical examinations or surgical procedures. Bisacodyl acts by stimulating the enteric nerves to induce peristaltic contractions in the colon, thereby facilitating bowel movements. It typically produces a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours after oral administration. Wescolax is indicated for short-term relief of occasional constipation and should be used only when lifestyle modifications such as increased dietary fiber, fluid intake, and physical activity have proven insufficient. The recommended dose for adults is generally 5 to 15 mg once daily, preferably taken at bedtime to produce a bowel movement the following morning. It is important to adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration, as prolonged use may lead to dependence or electrolyte imbalance. Common side effects include abdominal cramps, nausea, and diarrhea. Use is contraindicated in cases of intestinal obstruction, acute abdominal conditions, and hypersensitivity to Bisacodyl. Caution is advised in patients with cardiac disorders or electrolyte disturbances. Consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended before initiating treatment with Wescolax 5mg Tablet to ensure safe and appropriate use.
