While Colicaid is generally safe for short-term gas relief, using it daily long-term should be evaluated by her doctor. More importantly, using Dulcoflex (bisacodyl) suppositories every other day on a long-term basis is not recommended. Regular use of stimulant laxatives can make her bowel dependent on them to function. I gently suggest consulting her pediatrician to find a safer, long-term solution for her constipation, such as dietary adjustments or gentler, non-habit-forming stool softeners.
