Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative used to relieve occasional constipation and to prepare the bowel for diagnostic procedures. It stimulates peristalsis by directly acting on the colon, promoting effective bowel movements within six to twelve hours.
Bisacodyl is a white to off-white crystalline powder, practically insoluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. It is chemically stable, with good shelf-life under standard storage conditions, and should be protected from light and moisture.
The molecular formula of Bisacodyl is C22H19NO4, and its structure includes aromatic rings, an ester group, and a nitrogen atom. It is classified as a diphenylmethane derivative with laxative properties due to its localized action on the colon.
Bisacodyl has a melting point range of approximately 131°C to 135°C, depending on purity. It remains thermally stable under controlled conditions but should be stored away from direct heat and reactive substances to preserve chemical integrity.
Bisacodyl is formulated into tablets and suppositories for use as a laxative. It is commonly prescribed for short-term relief from constipation and for bowel cleansing before medical examinations such as colonoscopies and surgical procedures.
