When to Consult a Doctor: Recognizing Serious Side Effects

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or signs of dehydration such as excessive thirst or dizziness. These could indicate serious complications.

Seek medical attention if you develop a severe allergic reaction, characterized by symptoms like rash, itching, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing. This requires immediate medical intervention.

Prolonged or excessive diarrhea can lead to electrolyte imbalances. If you experience persistent watery stools for more than two days, contact your physician. This needs prompt evaluation and potential treatment for dehydration.

If you notice changes in your bowel habits lasting longer than a week after stopping Dulcolax, schedule a consultation. Your doctor can determine the cause and recommend appropriate management.

Always follow the recommended dosage. Overuse can lead to adverse effects. Report any unusual symptoms, even mild ones, to your healthcare provider for assessment.
