Proven and reliable

Bisacodyl is an active ingredient that has been tried and tested for decades and makes it easier to empty the intestines.It is used both for acute constipation and in preparation for operations when an empty intestine is required.Bisacodyl has a two-fold effect in our large intestine: on the one hand, it ensures that our intestinal wall releases more water into the large intestine and, on the other hand, it inhibits the removal of water from food.The volume of the stool is increased and the natural movement of the intestines is stimulated.Taking it in the evening leads to the desired laxative effect after approx. 10 hours, taking it in the morning on an empty stomach after approx. 6 hours.

Just 1-2 Bekunis Bisacodyl dragees in the evening are enough to reactivate the intestines overnight, so to speak.Taken on an empty stomach, the small dragees take effect after just 6 hours.The enteric coated tablet containing the active ingredient bisacodyl needs this period of time to pass through the stomach and small intestine and to reliably fulfill its function in the large intestine.This is how Bekunis Dragees Bisacodyl reliably solve constipation.
