I take bisacodyl - one every night. The effects are mild in comparison to other prescribed medications - sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with cramps and wind. I am surprised they are advising you to use this for bowel prep as I very much doubt it will have the desired effect of clearing you out. They normally prescribe things like picolax for bowel prep.
Hello. I had to take 2 bisacodyl tablets twice daily for two days before my sigmoidoscopy. It wasn't too bad - just a bit of tummy cramp and only a couple of trips to the loo a few hours after each dose. I hope it's as trouble free for you. (I don't know about Miralax though).
