bisacodyl and Diarrhea

bisacodyl has been researched along with Diarrhea in 8 studies

Bisacodyl: A diphenylmethane stimulant laxative used for the treatment of CONSTIPATION and for bowel evacuation. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p871)

Diarrhea: An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.

"Experimental antidiarrheal activity of a traditionally used medication, Salicairine, was demonstrated in comparison to loperamide by significant inhibition of castor oil-induced diarrhea in mice (increases in hard faeces/total faeces ratio of 38 and 54 and 5 and 54% with respect to controls, at 0."3.70Experimental study of antidiarrheal activity of Salicairine.
