At least a 6-hour interval should be maintained between taking Orlifique tablets and Bisacodyl laxative tablets. The regular need to use preparations that facilitate defecation is an indication to seek medical advice. However, it is worth being aware that the abuse of laxatives (mainly based on substances and plant raw materials irritating the mucous membrane, such as bisacodyl, root of rhinoceros, leaf sense or buckthorn bark) can lead to drug constipation, called lazy intestine syndrome.
