I took dulcolax one tablet 13hrs ago when should make me have a bowel movement?

See answer: Everyone responds to meds differently and it depends on whether you have issues with emptying or if your stools are hard. Dulcolax is a stimulant laxative so it may not work if your stools are hard. Increasing dietary fiber and water intake will help with this. Hope this helps!
