Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I take Dulcolax SP Drops?

A: For adults and children over 10 years, the usual dose is 10–20 drops in a small amount of water at bedtime. For children aged 4–10 years, use 5–10 drops. Always follow label instructions or pharmacist advice. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Results are typically expected within 6–12 hours.

Q: Can I take Dulcolax SP Drops every day?

A: Dulcolax SP Drops are intended for short-term use only — typically no more than 7 days without medical advice. Regular daily use of stimulant laxatives can lead to dependence and reduced bowel function over time. For chronic constipation, speak to your doctor about longer-term management strategies including dietary fibre, fluid intake and exercise.

Q: Are Dulcolax SP Drops safe during pregnancy?

A: Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any laxative during pregnancy. While stimulant laxatives are generally avoided in pregnancy, your healthcare provider can advise on the safest option for your situation. Dietary changes, adequate fluid intake and gentle exercise are usually recommended as first-line approaches during pregnancy.

Q: Can children use Dulcolax SP Drops?

A: Dulcolax SP Drops are suitable for children aged 4 years and over at an appropriate reduced dose. For children under 4 years, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use. Always keep laxative products out of reach of children and use only as directed.
