No. Do not use stimulant laxatives, including Dulcolax®, every day. You should stop taking any laxative, including Dulcolax®, and consult a doctor if you do not have a bowel movement within 12 hours or if rectal bleeding occurs. This could be a sign of a serious condition. You also should consult a doctor if you need a laxative for more than one week.
