Conlax 5 Suppository is used in the back passage (rectum) and must not be taken by mouth. Use this medicine at bedtime in a dose as advised by your doctor. Remember to inform the doctor if you have a history of stomach disorders such as appendicitis or a blockage in your bowel.
Bisacodyl works by stimulating enteric neurons to cause peristalsis, i.e., colonic contractions. It is also a contact laxative; it increases fluid and salt secretion. The action of bisacodyl on the small intestine is negligible; stimulant laxatives mainly promote evacuation of the colon
Bisacodyl is administered either orally or rectally. Bisacodyl distributes locally, and the circulating drug undergoes hepatic metabolism and is then excreted in the urine. Bisacodyl is minimally absorbed (15%), and the onset of action of the drug begins 6—8 hours after an oral dose
