Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do I need to "retain" the suppository?
To ensure the Bisacodyl is fully absorbed and effective, try to keep the suppository in place for 15 to 20 minutes. This allows the medication to properly stimulate the bowel muscles.
Why choose suppositories over oral laxative tablets?
Speed and predictability. Oral tablets must pass through the entire digestive system, typically taking 6 to 12 hours. Suppositories work locally in the rectum to provide relief in under an hour.
How should I store this bulk 6-pack?
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C (86°F). If a suppository feels soft due to heat, hold it (in the foil) under cold water for 30 seconds or place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before use.
