Mechanical cleansing of the colon is an accepted standard of practice prior to colon surgery, and endoscopic and radiographic procedures. Cleansing the bowel prior to these procedures increases the accuracy of the diagnostic procedures and decreases the morbidity and mortality following surgery, where fecal contamination is a concern. Mechanical cleansing agents are sometimes used for acute constipation, but because of the extent and harshness of the evacuation they induce, and because of their adverse effects, they are not used for long-term management of constipation. Dosages vary among products, procedures, and individuals. Manufacturer guidelines should be consulted for proper dosing and administration.
HPLC methods have been developed for the assay of bisacodyl in various pharmaceutical forms. The extraction procedures are simple and the HPLC conditions separate bisacodyl from its degradation products. The chromatography was performed using a Merck LiChrospher RP-select B column, a mobile phase of 55% acetonitrile/45% 0.05 M KH2PO4 and detection by UV at 214 nm.
