Here are some...: Bisacodyl is bowel-stimulating laxative, which alone should be a good choice for bowel prep for colon procdures or constipation after failing to dietary modification and will not affect electrolytes or heart conditions. Of course, it is most reasonable to ask your doctor for specifics since s/he knows more about your medical situations than anyone online. Best wish to health...
