Patients should be counselled regarding abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or a change in bowel function that lasts longer than 2 weeks. It has a wide therapeutic index, as patients can take 5-15 mg orally. Patients taking bisacodyl should be counselled before taking the medication if they are already experiencing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or a change in bowel function lasting longer than 2 weeks. Patients should also be counselled to stop taking the medication if they experience rectal bleeding or no bowel movement in 12 hours.

Absorption
Oral formulations of bisacodyl are only 16% bioavailable. A 10 mg enteric coated oral tablet reaches a Cmax of 26 ng/mL with a Tmax of 8 hours, while a 10 mg oral solution reaches a Cmax of 237 ng/mL with a Tmax of 1.7 hours. A 10 mg suppository reaches a Cmax of 0-64 ng/mL. In lactating women, 10mg of oral bisacodyl reaches a Cmax of 20.5-195 ng/mL, with a Tmax of 3-4 hours, and a geometric mean AUC after a single dose of 471 h\*ng/mL. After multiple doses, the geometric mean AUC decreases to 311 h\*ng/mL.
Route of Elimination
The majority of bisacodyl is eliminated in the feces. 13.8-17.0% of a bisacodyl dose is eliminated in the urine as the active metabolite BHPM.
Volume of Distribution
Data regarding the volume of distribution of bisacodyl is not readily available. However, the volume of distribution of the active metabolite, BHPM, in lactating women is 181 L after a single dose and 289 L at steady state.
Clearance
Data regarding the clearance of bisacodyl is not readily available. The apparent plasma clearance of the active metabolite, BHPM, in lactating women after a single 10 mg oral dose is 272 mL/min and after multiple doses is 412 mL/min.
Absorption of bisacodyl ... is minimal following oral or rectal administration. Any bisacodyl that is absorbed is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine and/or distributed in milk.

Bisacodyl is deacetylated to the active bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane (BHPM) by an intestinal deacetylase. A small amount of BHPM is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and is glucuronidated before elimination.
Following oral or rectal administration bisacodyl is converted to the active desacetyl metabolite bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)pyridyl-2-methane by intestinal and bacterial enzymes.

HPLC method which permits simultaneous detection of bisacodyl (BIS) & its monodesacetylated (mono) as well as totally desacetylated (DES) form, was used to study the intestinal handling of BIS (20 nmol/mL), when incubated for 60 min at the mucosal side of the preparations specified. In jejunal mucosa fluid, BIS disappeared completely in short time, & there was nearly equivalent rise in DES; mono was transitorily present. Hydrolysis was also rapid in mucosal fluid which had been in contact with jejunal sacs for 30 sec, but BIS was stable in blank incubations. Hydrolysis of BIS was slower by colonic than by jejunal sacs, & all 3 forms were present during incubation. It seemed still lower in mucosal fluid which had been in contact with colonic sac for 5 min. BIS & DES accumulate in jejunal & colonic serosal fluid mainly as conjugates (above 95%), & DES was in all cases the only conjugated metabolite present. Accumulation in jejunal serosal fluid was same whether BIS or DES was added.

Data regarding the half life of bisacodyl is not readily available. The half life of the active metabolite, BHPM, in lactating women was 7.3 h after a single 10 mg oral dose and 10.0 h after multiple doses.
Bisacodyl is deacetylated to the active bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane (BHPM) by an intestinal deacetylase. BHPM can stimulate parasympathetic nerves in the colon directly to increase motility and secretions. Bisacodyl stimulates adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP, leading to active transport of chloride and bicarbonate out of cells. Sodium ions, potassium ions, and water passively leave the cell; while sodium and chloride ions are unable to be reabsorbed. Water is also be transported from the luminal side of cells into the vasculature by aquaporin 3. Bisacodyl decreases expression of aquaporin 3, preventing water from moving into the vasculature, which may contribute to increased water in the colon. Bisacodyl directly stimulates parasympathetic nerves in the colon, stimulating contraction of longitudinal smooth muscle but not circular smooth muscle.
Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative, ... acting directly on the colonic mucosa-where it stimulates sensory nerve endings to produce parasympathetic reflexes resulting in increased peristaltic contractions of the colon. The contact action of the drug is restricted to the colon, and motility of the small intestine is not appreciably influenced.

Recent studies show that these drugs alter fluid and electrolyte absorption producing net intestinal fluid accumulation and laxation. Some of these drugs may directly stimulate active intestinal ion secretion. Increased concentrations of cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), occurring in colonic mucosa cells following administration of stimulant laxatives, may alter the permeability of these cells and mediate active ion secretion thereby producing net fluid accumulation and laxative action. /Stimulant Laxatives/

Bisacodyl caused dose-dependent contractions in isolated guinea pig ileum & taenia coli which was not prevented by atropine or pheniramine. It prevented acetylcholine- & histamine-induced contractions. Bisacodyl-induced contractions were not caused by a decrease in endogenous cyclic amp level. However, both endogenous cyclic amp & verapamil (a calcium transport inhibitor) inhibited bisacodyl-induced contractions, suggesting site of action on calcium-dependent contractile system of smooth muscle cells.
Schubert et al; Mode of Action of Bisacodyl on the Smooth Muscle of the Small and Large Intestine of the Guinea Pig; Arzneim-Forsch 25(7) 1053 (1975)
Intestinal secretagogues as well as the laxative, bisacodyl, raise the K+ efflux rate across the mucosal border by 200-300%. Results suggest that laxatives may increase rate of K+ secretion into the colonic lumen by raising the K+ permeability of the mucosal border.
