Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do I need to "retain" the suppository?
For the most effective results, try to keep the suppository in place for 15 to 20 minutes. This gives the Bisacodyl enough time to dissolve and begin stimulating the bowel muscles to encourage a movement.
Is this better than taking a laxative pill?
While both use the same active ingredient, pills (oral tablets) typically take 6 to 12 hours to work as they must pass through the entire digestive system. Suppositories work locally in the rectum, providing relief much faster—usually within 15 to 60 minutes.
What should I do if the suppository feels soft?
Because the base is made of vegetable oil, it can soften in warm temperatures. If it feels too soft to insert easily, hold the foil-wrapped suppository under cold water for 30 seconds or place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before opening.
