A member asked:
How does the dosage compare bisacodyl vs senna? ex. 5mg bisacodyl would be equivalent to how much senna?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't matter: If one medication is working well, why change? If it is not working well, and you want to switch or add the other one start at the recommended starting dose for that specific medication. Hope this helps!
