CORECT SUPPOSITORY 5'S

How CORECT SUPPOSITORY 5'S Works

• CORECT Suppository 5's provides targeted relief from constipation by gently stimulating bowel movement. Its primary active ingredient, Bisacodyl, works directly on the colon to encourage peristalsis, the muscle contractions that move stool through the intestines. This localized action minimizes systemic absorption, reducing the likelihood of widespread side effects.
• Upon insertion, the suppository melts at body temperature, releasing Bisacodyl onto the rectal mucosa. Bisacodyl then stimulates the sensory nerve endings in the colon. This stimulation increases the accumulation of fluid and electrolytes in the colon lumen. This increased fluid softens the stool, making it easier to pass. Simultaneously, the nerve stimulation enhances the propulsive activity of the colon, leading to more frequent and forceful contractions.
• The combined effect of increased fluid and enhanced peristalsis results in a predictable and controlled bowel movement, typically within 15 minutes to an hour. Because CORECT works locally, it offers a convenient and rapid solution for occasional constipation. It's important to use CORECT Suppository as directed and not to exceed the recommended dosage. Prolonged or excessive use can lead to dependence on laxatives and may disrupt the natural bowel function. While CORECT effectively alleviates constipation, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fiber, adequate hydration, and regular exercise is essential for long-term digestive health. Individuals with chronic constipation or underlying medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
• In summary, CORECT Suppository leverages the stimulant laxative properties of Bisacodyl to promote bowel movement. Bisacodyl directly irritates the colonic mucosa stimulating nerve endings to increase fluid accumulation and enhance peristalsis. This dual-action mechanism softens the stool and propels it through the intestines, resulting in predictable relief from constipation. The localized action minimizes systemic side effects and provides a convenient solution for occasional constipation. Always use as directed, and consult a healthcare professional for persistent issues.

• If you miss a dose of Corect Suppository, use it as soon as you remember.
• However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.

• For optimal results, insert the CORECT suppository as directed by your healthcare provider, typically into the rectum with the pointed end first. Ensure clean hands before and after application to prevent infection.
• Store CORECT suppositories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid storing them in the bathroom, as humidity can affect their efficacy. If the suppository softens, refrigerate it for a few minutes before use to restore its firmness.
• To ease insertion, you can lubricate the CORECT suppository with a small amount of water-soluble lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly. Avoid using petroleum-based products like Vaseline, as they can interfere with the suppository's medication release.
• If you miss a dose, insert the suppository as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
• Stay adequately hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, throughout the day while using CORECT suppositories. This can help soften stools and improve bowel regularity. Consult your doctor if you experience persistent constipation or discomfort.
• Before using CORECT suppositories, inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are currently taking. This includes over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins, to prevent potential drug interactions.
• After inserting the CORECT suppository, try to remain lying down for about 15-20 minutes to allow the medication to be absorbed properly. Avoid immediate bowel movements during this time.
• If you experience any unusual side effects such as rectal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

• There are no known interactions between CORECT SUPPOSITORY 5'S and food. CORECT SUPPOSITORY 5'S is administered rectally and its absorption is unlikely to be affected by the consumption of food. It is recommended to follow your doctor's advice regarding diet while using this medication.
