The History of Dulcolax®
 
history
While you may have only recently heard about Dulcolax®, its gentle yet effective relief has been relied upon in Europe and throughout the world for decades. Developed in Germany more than 50 years ago, the laxative—using a newly discovered substance known as bisacodyl—launched a new generation of laxatives to effectively relieve constipation. By 1952, Dulcolax® became available worldwide, and today is recognized as the top-selling stimulant laxative worldwide and the #1 doctor-recommended stimulant laxative in the United States.
