Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of gastrointestinal motility agents. We provide high-stability Bisacodyl Gastro-Resistant Tablets (Enteric Coated), sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Overnight Relief” stimulant laxative is a top export to pharmacy chains, geriatric care homes, and hospital surgery prep units in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as the trusted first-line agent for acute constipation and pre-operative bowel clearance.
Product Overview
This formulation contains Bisacodyl, a diphenylmethane derivative that acts as a contact stimulant laxative.
The “Peristalsis Activator” Specialist:
- Mechanism: Bisacodyl is a pro-drug. It passes through the stomach and small intestine unchanged. Upon reaching the colon, bacterial enzymes hydrolyze it into its active metabolite (bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane). This active compound directly stimulates the parasympathetic nerve endings in the colonic mucosa (myenteric plexus), triggering strong peristaltic waves (muscle contractions) that push stool forward.
- Fluid Secretion: It also promotes the accumulation of water and electrolytes in the colonic lumen, softening the stool to facilitate easier evacuation.
- Predictable Timing: Designed for “Night-Time Dosing,” it typically induces a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours, allowing patients to sleep through the night and experience relief the next morning.

Manufacturing Authority
Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.
- Enteric Coating Technology: Bisacodyl is a severe gastric irritant. If released in the stomach, it causes intense abdominal cramping and nausea. Our tablets are coated with pH-sensitive polymers (Eudragit) that resist stomach acid (pH 1-3) and only dissolve in the higher pH of the small intestine/colon (pH > 6).
- Stability: We ensure the coating remains intact even in humid tropical climates, preventing premature drug release.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for the treatment of constipation and bowel evacuation:
- Acute Constipation: Short-term relief of occasional constipation.
- Pre-Operative/Diagnostic Prep: Used to empty the bowel before surgery, X-rays, or colonoscopy (often part of a regimen with PEG).
- Post-Operative Care: To facilitate bowel movements in patients who cannot strain (e.g., after hernia repair or childbirth).
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician):
- Route: Oral.
- Adults & Children > 12 yrs: 5 mg to 10 mg (1 or 2 tablets) taken once daily.
- Children (6-12 yrs): 5 mg (1 tablet) taken once daily.
- Timing: Best taken at night before sleep to produce a bowel movement the next morning.
- The “Do Not Crush” Rule (CRITICAL):
- Swallow Whole: NEVER chew, crush, or break the tablet. Breaking the enteric coating exposes the stomach to the irritant drug, causing severe cramps.
- Avoid Milk/Antacids: Do not take within 1 hour of drinking milk or taking antacids. These alkaline substances neutralize stomach acid, causing the enteric coating to dissolve too early (in the stomach).
Safety Warnings:
- Electrolyte Imbalance: Chronic use or abuse can lead to severe loss of potassium (hypokalemia), dehydration, and muscle weakness. Not for long-term daily use.
- Lazy Bowel Syndrome: Long-term reliance can cause “cathartic colon,” where the bowel loses its natural ability to contract without medication.
- Abdominal Pain: Cramping is a common side effect as the drug works by forceful contraction.
