Foster & Thrive Laxative — Bisacodyl 5 mg Tablets (100-Count Bottle)
Get gentle and effective relief from occasional constipation and irregular bowel movements with Foster & Thrive’s 5 mg bisacodyl laxative tablets. Designed for occasional use, each tablet helps stimulate your digestive system to promote a natural bowel movement — giving you fast, dependable relief when you need it most.
What It Does — Stimulates Healthy Bowel Movement
- Helps Relieve Occasional Constipation & Irregularity
- The active ingredient, bisacodyl, is a well-known stimulant laxative that helps prompt bowel movements by stimulating the muscles in the intestines — helping stool move through the digestive tract more easily.
- Works Within Several Hours (Usually 6–12 Hours)
- When taken correctly, most users experience a bowel movement within about 6 to 12 hours — often convenient when taken at night for relief the next morning.
- Comfort-Coated Tablets for Easy Swallowing
- Tablets are coated for smoother swallowing and designed to dissolve properly when they reach the intestines — ensuring reliable action without harsh stomach irritation.
What You Get — Convenient, Reliable Supply
- 5 mg per Tablet — a commonly used dose for occasional constipation, effective yet gentle when used as directed.
- 100 Tablets per Bottle — generous supply, ideal for occasional use over several months, making this a cost-effective and practical choice.
- Over-the-Counter Convenience — no prescription needed; one tablet with water is all it takes when constipation strikes.
- Who It’s For — When It’s Useful
Foster & Thrive Bisacodyl Laxative is especially useful for:
- Adults experiencing occasional constipation, irregularity, or difficulty having bowel movements due to diet changes, stress, travel, or other temporary causes.
- Anyone who needs quick bowel relief — e.g. when you need to restore regularity soon (often within hours).
- People who prefer a tablet-based laxative rather than bulk-forming fibers or powders — especially if you want predictable and more immediate results.
Important Use & Safety Information
- Use only occasionally — bisacodyl is intended for short-term relief and not for daily or long-term use. Prolonged use may lead to dependency or decreased bowel function.
- Take with a full glass of water, and swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush, chew, or take within one hour of antacids, milk or dairy products, as they can reduce effectiveness.
- Do not exceed recommended dosage — typical adult dose is 1 tablet; some may be advised up to 2–3, but more may increase risk of side effects like cramping, diarrhea, or dehydration.
- Not suitable for chronic constipation — if symptoms persist more than a week or are accompanied by severe pain, bleeding, or other concerning signs, consult a healthcare professional.
