Description

BOLAX 5mg Tablet is a fast-acting stimulant laxative containing Bisacodyl 5mg, designed to relieve constipation and help maintain healthy bowel habits. It works by stimulating the muscles of the intestines and increasing fluid secretion in the bowel, which softens stool and makes passage easier.
