If you suffer from occasional constipation, you're probably looking for an effective remedy to relieve your symptoms. That's where Bisacodyl 5 mg Biogaran Conseil comes in.

What is occasional constipation?

Occasional constipation can be a source ofdiscomfort and frustration. It is characterized by stools that are difficult to expel, abdominal pain and a feeling of bloating.

2. Ease of use:

Bisacodyl tablets are easy to swallow with a little water. What's more, they're coated for gastro-resistant action. This means they pass through the stomach without dissolving, reaching the colon directly for maximum effectiveness.

The active ingredient in this medicine is Bisacodyl, present at a concentration of 5 mg per gastro-resistant tablet.

Its benefits include fast relief, ease of use, proven efficacy, availability without prescription and short-term use.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before taking BISACODYL BIOGARAN CONSEIL.

Unless otherwise advised by your doctor, this medicine should not be used during pregnancy, or in association with medicines that cause certain heart problems (torsade de pointes).

For constipation, do not use for longer than 8-10 days without medical advice.

Occasional constipation

This may be due to a recent change in lifestyle (e.g., travel). The drug can be used as a short-term treatment. Any recent constipation unexplained by a change in lifestyle, or any constipation accompanied by pain, fever or swelling of the abdomen, should be referred to a doctor.

Chronic constipation (long-term constipation)

There are two possible causes of chronic constipation:

- or an intestinal disease requiring medical attention;

- or an imbalance in bowel function due to dietary and lifestyle habits.

Treatment includes:

- increasing dietary intake of plant-based products (green vegetables, raw vegetables, wholemeal bread, fruit, etc.);

- increased consumption of water and fruit juices;

- increased physical activity (sports, walking, etc.);

- reeducation of the defecation reflex;

- sometimes adding bran to the diet.

Children and adolescents

BISACODYL BIOGARAN CONSEIL should not be used in children under 6 years of age.

BISACODYL BIOGARAN CONSEIL should not be used in children under 12 years of age without medical advice.

The treatment of constipation in children is based on healthy lifestyle and dietary measures, in particular the use of the right amount of water with infant milk powders, a diet rich in plant-based products, and the addition of fruit juices.

Intestinal fluid loss can lead to dehydration. Symptoms may include thirst and reduced urine output (oliguria). If you feel dehydrated, or if dehydration could be dangerous for you (e.g. in cases of kidney failure or in the elderly), bisacodyl should be stopped and only resumed under medical supervision.

Other medicines and BISACODYL BIOGARAN CONSEIL 5 mg, gastro-resistant tablet

To avoid possible interactions between several medicines, in particular medicines causing certain cardiac disorders (torsade de pointes), inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or may take any other medicine.

If you are taking milk, antacids or proton pump inhibitors, the acidity of the upper gastrointestinal tract may be reduced, and the gastro-resistant coating may dissolve prematurely. When taking drugs from the digitalis family, an imbalance in electrolyte levels may be observed, leading to increased sensitivity to digitalis.

Concomitant use of diuretics and corticosteroids may increase the risk of electrolyte imbalance if excessive doses of BISACODYL BIOGARAN CONSEIL are taken, with an increased risk of hypokalemia (additive effect).
