 | | Bisacodyl is a contact stimulant laxative, administered either orally or rectally, which acts directly on the colonic mucosa to produce normal peristalsis:' Bisacodyl is very poorly absorbed, if at all, in the small intestine following oral administration, or the large intestine following rectal administration. |
 | | On contact with the mucosa or submucosal plexus of the large intestine, Bisacodyl stimulates sensory nerve endings to produce parasympathetic reflexes resulting in increased peristaiti contractions of the colon. |
 | | Stimulant laxatives, such as bisacodyl, are contraindicated for patients with acute surgical abdomen, appendicitis, rectal bleeding, gastroenteritis, or intestinal obstruction. |
