A similar disease is Dupuytren's disease, which affects the hand and causes bent hand or fingers. As in most forms of fibromatosis, it is usually benign and its onset varies with each patient. The nodules are typically slow growing and most often found in the central and medial portions of the plantar fascia.
The makers of Dulcolax say that the product has been used for a long period of time and in that time, there has been no evidence of undesirable or damaging effects during pregnancy. Dulcolax is a stimulant laxative. It encourages peristalsis, which is the contraction of the colon to pass waste products out of the body.
Dulcolax suppositories contain the active ingredient bisacodyl, which is a type of medicine called a stimulant laxative. Bisacodyl works by stimulating the nerve endings in the walls of the large bowel (colon) and rectum.
