Bisacodyl Krka 5 mg 105 coated tablets
Bisacodyl Krka 5 mg 105 coated tablets
Bisacodyl Krka is an anti-constipant (laxative). It acts on the motility of the large intestine, promoting the elimination of stool and gas by increasing intestinal peristalsis (bowel movement that leads to emptying). The preparation is used in acute functional constipation (e.g. change of residence when travelling, change of lifestyle).
Only on the doctor's recommendation, the preparation is used to prepare the patient for surgery and to empty the bowels before examination of the colon (X-ray, endoscopic, sonographic), for a temporary period of constipation in painful conditions in the anus (anal fissures, hemorrhoids) and in secondary constipation accompanying other diseases.
It should also only be used under medical supervision in long-term bedridden patients and in patients treated with opioids (strong painkillers) suffering from chronic constipation. The product can be used by adults, adolescents and children from 2 years of age. Children can only take the product under the supervision of a doctor. The package contains 105 tablets.
