Irritant laxatives (Dulcolax, Contalax, Fuca or Rex, Modane, Boldoflorine) stimulate the intestinal mucosa, increasing intestinal motricity and helping to combat constipation. They contain bisacodyl or herbs such as bourdaine, cascara and senna. They take 6 to 10 hours to take effect. They may cause discoloration of the urine and intestinal wall, due to the anthracene derivatives they contain. They may also cause potassium loss. They are reserved for occasional use.

Tablet medications to prevent or treat constipation in adults are a commonly used solution to this common discomfort. While constipation can have many causes, it can be prevented or relieved with the right medication.
Constipation is defined as infrequent and/or difficult bowel movements. It can be caused by a poorly varied, low-fiber diet, poor hydration, lack of physical exercise, hormonal disorders or health problems such as hypothyroidism or inflammatory bowel disease.
To prevent constipation, it's important to maintain a balanced diet rich in fiber, drink enough fluids and engage in regular physical activity. In some cases, however, these measures are not enough, and medication is required.
Tablet medications to prevent constipation are mainly osmotic laxatives and stimulant laxatives. Osmotic laxatives work by retaining water in the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. They are particularly useful for people suffering from chronic constipation, and are generally well tolerated.
Stimulant laxatives, on the other hand, work by stimulating the muscles of the intestine, speeding up intestinal transit. They are often used for rapid relief of acute constipation, but can cause side effects such as abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
To relieve acute constipation, it is possible to use tablets containing hydrophilic substances or vegetable oils. These act by lubricating the stool and facilitating its passage. They are generally well tolerated and can be used occasionally.
In cases of chronic constipation, it may be necessary to use tablets containing vegetable fibers. These work by swelling the stool and making it softer, making it easier to pass. They are particularly useful for people suffering from chronic constipation, and can be used for prolonged periods.
