Bisflow Tablet

Bisflow Tablet contains Bisacodyl, a medication commonly used as a stimulant laxative to treat constipation. It works by stimulating bowel movements, helping the intestines to move stool through the digestive tract more efficiently. Bisflow is effective in providing relief from constipation by increasing the peristalsis (muscular contractions) of the bowel. This medication can be used for short-term relief of constipation and to clear the bowel before certain medical procedures, such as colonoscopy.
