A member asked:
Will my body eventually become resistant to the effects of dulcolax (bisacodyl)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may, and this is where lifestyle changes are critical in the long run, including diet changes, proper hydration and physical exercise. Laxatives should be reserved for as needed use. Many times work is needed for medical causes for refractory constipation, talk to your doc.
