Question: is ex-lax the same as bisacodyl?
Answer: Sennosides (Senna, Ex-Lax) and bisacodyl(Dulcolax) increase intestinal motility and help with the flow of water into the bowel which improves constipation. Sennosides is more commonly used and slightly more effective than bisacodyl for opioid-induced constipation. Both are available over the counter and cheap.
