What Causes Constipation While On Dulcolax?

Hello,
Just for the history of not passing the stool since three days may not require any laxative or purgative like Dulcolax suppository, instead of this you should drink more water and have fiber containing diet.
Now just be patient and let the side effect of Dulcolax be finished, Dulcolax may cause the erosion of rectal mucosa and this need to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
