Opsonin Duralax 5 mg Tablet uses Bisacodyl to trigger colonic contractions for constipation relief. The enteric-coated design prevents dissolution in the stomach, forcing chemical release in the lower intestines. Each 20-tablet strip requires storage below 30°C to maintain structural stability.
Key Features
- Enteric Coating: 5mg Bisacodyl core with an acid-resistant outer layer. Bypasses the stomach to prevent gastric irritation and nausea.
- Dual Action Performance: Stimulates enteric nerves while increasing intestinal fluid levels. Softens stool while triggering peristalsis for predictable bowel movements.
- Radiographic Preparation: High-potency stimulant laxative suitable for pre-surgery bowel prep. Clears the intestinal tract to ensure clear medical imaging.
- Thermal Stability: Solid oral dosage form rated for storage below 30°C. Prevents the enteric coating from degrading during periods of high humidity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Duralax take to work?
Oral tablets typically produce a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours. Taking a dose at bedtime usually results in a morning response.
Can Duralax be taken with milk?
Do not consume milk within one hour of taking this tablet. Milk raises stomach pH, which causes the enteric coating to dissolve prematurely.
