Description
Bisacodyl Product Overview
Bisacodyl (C22H19NO4) is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water. It is a diphenylmethane derivative that becomes active in the colon after enzymes remove its acetyl groups.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in enteric-coated tablets, which protect it from stomach acid, and in suppositories for faster action. It is widely sold over the counter in many countries. Similarly, related gastrointestinal APIs in our range include Lactulose and Magnesium Hydroxide.
Because tablets need an intact enteric coating, coating-grade excipients and particle size both matter. Zyntex supplies bisacodyl only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
