Relief of Constipation: Bisacodyl works by stimulating the muscles in the intestines, which increases the movement of stool through the bowels. This helps to relieve constipation and promote regular bowel movements.
Treatment of Bowel Irregularities: It is used to treat occasional constipation and to help patients with certain bowel irregularities, such as those caused by certain medications or medical conditions.
Preparation for Medical Procedures: Bisacodyl is sometimes used to prepare the bowel for medical procedures such as colonoscopies or bowel surgery. It helps to empty the bowel completely, allowing for better visualization during the procedure.
Onset of Action: Bisacodyl usually produces a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours after taking the medication. It is often taken at bedtime to produce a bowel movement the following morning.
Administration: Bisacodyl is available in various forms, including oral tablets, suppositories, and enemas. The choice of formulation depends on the individual's preferences, medical condition, and the desired onset of action.
Side Effects: Common side effects of bisacodyl include abdominal discomfort, cramping, nausea, and diarrhea. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, it's important to consult a healthcare provider.
Dehydration: Excessive use of stimulant laxatives like bisacodyl can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and dependence on laxatives for bowel movements. It's essential to use bisacodyl as directed and not to exceed the recommended dosage.
Not for Long-Term Use: Bisacodyl is generally not recommended for long-term use, as prolonged use of stimulant laxatives can lead to bowel dependence and other complications. It's important to address underlying causes of constipation and to make lifestyle changes to promote regular bowel movements.
Contraindications: Bisacodyl should not be used by individuals with certain medical conditions, including intestinal blockage, severe abdominal pain, appendicitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or rectal bleeding. It's important to consult a healthcare provider before using bisacodyl, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.
Rank | Probiotic | Impact |
---|---|---|
species | Escherichia coli | Reduces |
species | Lacticaseibacillus paracasei | Reduces |
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
