About Gerbisa Tablet 10

Stimulant laxative like Gerbisa is a short-term treatment option for treating difficulty in passing stool. This is also used for emptying the stomach before surgery and other medical operations like labour and radiological investigation. 

Gerbisa 5mg tablet works by enhancing the movement of the gastrointestinal tract and causes bowel movement, thereby leading to passing stool with ease.

It's ideally taken at night before going to bed for treating constipation. Bowel movements are seen within six to twelve hours after taking the medicine. But, it may vary with individuals.

The suggested course duration of Gerbisa 5mg is typically around one week. There is a high probability of the intestine getting addicted towards this medication when taken for longer durations. Hence, consult the doctor for the appropriate duration of medication based on your specific condition.

Bisacodyl is the key component of Gerbisa 5mg tablet. This medicine works by stimulating and expelling the stool from the body. It has to be used with caution in a few cases like disease conditions and some special cases like pregnant women.
