Dulcoflex Suppository

📋 Product Overview Table

🧬 What is Dulcoflex Suppository (Bisacodyl)?

Dulcoflex Suppositories, available in 5 mg and 10 mg doses, are rectal formulations of Bisacodyl designed for fast and effective relief of constipation or bowel preparation before diagnostic or surgical procedures. Manufactured by Sanofi India Limited, Dulcoflex offers a convenient, non-oral alternative for patients needing quick action—usually within 15 to 60 minutes of administration.

Bisacodyl belongs to the stimulant laxative class, promoting peristalsis by directly stimulating the intestinal mucosa. The suppository form is ideal for patients who cannot take oral medications or require rapid onset of effect.
