User Reviews for Dulcolax (bisacodyl) oral

So the first time I took this I took 2 pills at once. That was a BIG NO NO . The Pain was horrible, I was crying, sweating, shaking, dizzy etc... It also took about 24 hours to completely where off. IT did clean me out though so I guess it did its job

I suffer of infrequent bowel movements. i took 2 tablets when I used the drug for a first time. My side effects were: - The pain was awafull in my abdomen. - I was shaking uncontrollably for 20-30mins. - I was sweating - I felt like vomitting. - I thought I will pass out. The same happened tonight, when I took only 1 tablet. For a moment I felt so bad - I thought I will faint & I thought I might need to call the emergency services. Came to check on the net for the side effects..What a relief. Im not alone with the side effects.... This drug - does empty the bowel. But I wouldnt recommend it to annyone with these side effectt. I have tried better drugs in the past, without these horrible side effects. The box of Dulcolax tablets has only one place: the rubbish bin!!!Read More Read Less

I was to use this for the first part of a colonoscopy prep. The instructions said to take 4 tablets at 12:00 noon. I took only 2 tablets at about 8:30 AM. Around 2:00 PM I went to the bathroom. I began to get a pain--almost a burning pain in my upper abdomen. Suddenly, I broke out in a sweat and felt awful. I sat there in pain and sweating for about 45 minutes. I could hardly speak and at one point got light-headed and thought I might pass out. I didn't. A few times I felt waves of nausea. I sat there bent over and sweating profusely. I did manage to empty my bowels. I finally was able to get up and then went to bed for about 2 hours. I was wasted. With all the sweating, I couldn't help wondering if something else was happening to me. I shutter to think what would have happened if I had taken all 4 tablets as instructed. If you are trying this for the first time, you might want to have someone around just in case you run into problems.Read More Read Less

I agree with everyone else. This medication is extreme. Ive been sick all day and I took the pills at about 7pm. Was still sick at 11am the next day. couldnt leave house as urgency to go the bathroom was so strong plus i was up all night. it wakes you up out of your sleep something awful. i threw the rest of them out because just looking at the box makes me want to hurl.

This product is effective. Take only one at a time (i took two once and was crying in pain). You should also plan to take it only when you can afford to have some quality bathroom time. You may need a few trips to the bathroom as it works through your system. Don't take it the day that you have something really imortant to do. I took it at 9 p.m. and it worked its way through at about 10 a.m. the next day.

I have had bowel movement problems for years. I chalked it up to a poor diet and decided it would be helpful to eat healthier, as it usually makes me feel better. About a month ago, I began a healthier diet and have noticed the bowel movements have been less freqent than before. I eat all the right things, but it appeared the amount of fiber from fruits and veggies wasn't helping. Last week I tried the Dulcolax for the first time and within 7 hours I started to feel as though I was going to vomit and had pretty bad side pain. I sat on the toilet for about 45 minutes before the pill started actually working. It definitely does a fantastic job of cleaning out the system. I was happy with the effects of the product.
