Dulcoflex (Bisacodyl) tablets should be taken at bedtime. Tablet has to be taken with water They work overnight and ease the motion next day. It is always advisable to start at 1 tablet.
Since you have bought the tablets it is okay. But a better way to go would be Lactulose syrup with psyllium husk.
