Basic information about Dulcobis

Dulcobis is a drug that provides relief from symptoms of constipation. The use of Dulobis stimulates bowel movement and leads to easier bowel movements.

Action and properties

Dulcobis contains bisacodyl and is a laxative that relieves symptoms of constipation. It works in two ways – it stimulates the intestines and induces the transport of water and salt to the intestines, which softens fecal masses, making them easier to excrete.

In this way, Dulcobis supports the natural rhythm of the intestines.
