Description:

Duralax 5mg Tablets are a type of medicine known as a "stimulant laxative," which is used to address constipation. Constipation is characterized by irregular bowel motions that are frequently unpleasant, dry, and difficult to clear. Less than three stool motions per week are typical for someone who is constipated. Before a bowel operation or an inspection, the bowels may also be cleaned with Duralax 5mg Tablet

The "Bisacodyl" found in Duralax 5mg Tablet increases intestinal motility, making it easier for feces to travel through. By stimulating the gut muscles, it accelerates bowel motions and softens the stools to make them simpler to clear. Duralax 5mg Tablets thus aid in the treatment of constipation.
