Bisacodyl is a stool softener that works by causing the intestines to contract, which helps to move waste through the bowel more easily. When inserted as a suppository into the rectum, bisacodyl stimulates the nerves in the colon to increase muscle contractions, leading to a bowel movement within 15 to 60 minutes.
