BEKUNIS

Bekunis is a brand associated with the pharmacological treatment of occasional constipation. Currently, the product available at Farmaciasdirect is Bekunis 5 mg, a medicine formulated with bisacodyl and available as enteric-coated tablets.

Occasional constipation can be linked to changes in eating habits, changes to your routine, travel or certain periods when the usual frequency of bowel movements temporarily decreases. Before resorting to a laxative, it is advisable to stay well hydrated, eat enough fibre and take regular exercise whenever possible.

Bekunis 5 mg belongs to the group of stimulant laxatives. Bisacodyl acts on the large intestine by stimulating its activity and promoting bowel movements.

Its enteric-coated tablet form allows for the administration of a precise dose of the active ingredient. As this is a medicine, it should only be used when indicated and for the recommended duration, avoiding the use of stimulant laxatives as a regular solution for regulating bowel movements.

The Bekunis range currently available at Farmaciasdirect consists of Bekunis 5 mg enteric-coated tablets. Each tablet contains 5 mg of bisacodyl and the pack contains 30 tablets.

This medicine is indicated for the symptomatic relief of occasional constipation. It is important to bear in mind that there are other formulations marketed under the name Bekunis which may contain different active ingredients, such as preparations based on senna. Therefore, before taking any product from this brand, you should always check its composition and package leaflet.

When looking at reviews of Bekunis, it is best to consider objective factors such as its intended use, active ingredient, formulation and ease of administration. The response to a laxative can vary from person to person, and other users’ experiences do not allow you to determine whether the medicine is suitable for a specific case. Pharmacist advice and the instructions in the patient information leaflet should be your main guides for responsible use.
