Dulco-lax Suppositories gently bring fast and effective relief from constipation, helping your child's body back to working normally.

Dulco-lax is a stimulant laxative.  It is specially formulated to act on the wall of the bowel encouraging smooth movement.  The simple, once daily dose, introduced in the morning will reliably and predictably relieve constipation.  A bowel movement would usually be expected in fifteen minutes to one hour following insertion of a Dulco-lax suppository.


Caution :

If laxatives are needed every day, or there is persistent pain, consult your doctor.  Prolonged use should be avoided.  Dulco-lax has been in general use for many years and there is no evidence of ill-consequence in pregnancy.  However, as a general rule medicines should be avoided in pregnancy, especially during the first 3 months, except on the advice of your doctor. 

Constipation :

Regular bowel evacuation is generally considered to be important to the health of the individual.  Just what is 'regular' may vary from person to person.  Some may experience bowel movement daily, others less frequently.  It is the regularity of the pattern for each individual that is desirable.

Constipation is an occasional problem for most people.  For some it may be a more frequent occurrence.  Constipation can be caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, regularly resisting the desire for bowel movement, loss of 'tone' of the bowel muscles in later years, pregnancy or possibly as a result of any prolonged illness when long periods of time have to be spent confined to bed.

The likelihood of constipation can be reduced by a healthy diet which should include high fibre content foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables and bran-containing products.  Regular exercise, properly geared to the age and fitness of the individual, is also particularly helpful.

Whatever the cause, constipation is an uncomfortable condition which can be the cause of headaches and the feeling of heaviness and being generally 'off-colour'.

When the body needs help to restore its regular bowel function, Dulco-lax provides an answer.
