Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this the right size for colonoscopy prep?
Yes. Many gastroenterologists specifically recommend a 25-count box of 5 mg Bisacodyl as part of a multi-step preparation protocol. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Why can't I take this with milk or antacids?
Bisacodyl tablets are enteric-coated to dissolve in the intestines. Milk and antacids neutralize stomach acid, which can cause the tablet to dissolve too early in the stomach, resulting in cramps and decreased effectiveness.
How soon should I expect results?
Most people experience a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours. If taken before bed, you can typically expect a predictable result the following morning.
