Each tablet contains bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative that works directly in the large intestine to gently restore your body's natural rhythm, with results usually expected in 6-12 hours. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe tablets are coated with a special gastro-resistant layer, which means the active ingredient is only released when it reaches the bowel. This targeted delivery helps avoid unnecessary irritation and ensures bisacodyl gets to work exactly where it is needed. Once active, it gently stimulates the natural muscle action of the large intestine, making it easier for the body to eliminate waste and relieving the discomfort of bloating and heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePredictable overnight relief, with results expected the following morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGastro-resistant coating for targeted action in the bowel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGentle stimulation that works with the body's natural muscle action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuitable for adults and children over 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAvailable in a range of pack sizes for occasional use or as directed by a healthcare professional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDosage \u0026amp; How to Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAdults and children over 10 should take one or two tablets (5mg or 10mg) before bedtime.
