Is it safe to use Dulcoflex suppositories for constipation during pregnancy if other laxatives do not work?

Asked by Female, 25 · 2 days ago

While Dulcoflex (bisacodyl) suppositories are highly effective, we generally advise caution with stimulant laxatives during pregnancy. Because they stimulate bowel movements, they can sometimes cause abdominal cramping. They are typically considered a short-term option only when dietary changes, increased fluids, and bulk-forming laxatives haven't worked. Before using Dulcoflex, please consult your obstetrician to ensure it is the safest choice for you and your baby. They can guide you on the proper, short-term usage.
