A member asked:
How often can you safely use dulcolax? is once or twice weekly too frequent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a problem.: A twice weekly Dulcolax should cause you no difficulty. It is however important to remember that constipation is defined as hard painful bowel movements. It is an urban myth that we need to have a bowel movement. Every day.
