How do you take Dulcolax tablets?

Dulcolax tablets are taken orally for relief of constipation, as reported by Drugs.com. The recommended dosage is one to three 5-milligram tablets a day taken until symptoms subside but for no longer than one week. Dulcolax is also available as a suppository to be administered rectally.

Dulcolax tablets should be taken with a full glass of water, with or without food, as specified by Drugs.com. The tablets must be taken whole and not chewed or crushed. If drinking milk or taking an antacid, it is necessary to wait for an hour before taking Dulcolax tablets. Ducolax is a laxative, and it relieves constipation by generating bowel movements through the agitation of muscles in the bowel.
