What Should Be The Dosage Of Dulcolax Tablets In A 71-year-old Woman?
How many OTC dulcolax tablets do you take & how often? I have the inside packages but lost the outside package. I am 71 years old, female & it has been 2 days since I have had a bowel movement. Thank you. I am going to call my doctor. Thanks anyway.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As per my clinical experience, I recommend to consume single dose of dulcolax tablet at night for smooth bowel evacuation in the morning, which is sufficient for 2 days constipation.
* Additionally consume plenty of liquids, high fiber diet for better recovery.
