Description
Dulcolax Twelve Plus Tablets
Duclolax Twelve Plus Tablets are for the short-term relief of occasional constipation in adults and children from 12 years. They contain the active ingredient bisacodyl, a laxative that stimulates the muscles of the bowel (large intestine) to help restore your natural rhythm, while the special coating ensures that it works only where it is needed. Stimulant laxatives do not reduce the absorption of calories or nutrients therefore do not aid with weight loss.
