Short answer: No, Dulcolax doesn't affect the biopsy and CT procedure.

Detailed answer:
Thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic.com, providing better healthcare for you. I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. Dulcolax (bisacodyl) doesn't interfere with biopsy or CT procedure results. Also it hasn't any interaction with the contrast that may be used during CT scan. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
