- Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to use this medicine if you have other medical conditions, especially:
- a sudden change in bowel habits lasting 2 weeks or longer;
- hemorrhoids or anal fissures (small tears in the skin tissues around your rectum); ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or other intestinal disorder;
- a history of perforation (a hole or tear) of your intestines; an eating disorder (anorexia or bulimia); or (for bisacodyl tablets) if you cannot swallow without chewing.

- together with Bisacodyl, fiber rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits and green leafy vegetables, is essential to maintain healthy bowel function.
