Bisacodyl may be unsafe to use during pregnancy. Studies on animals have revealed some adverse effects. However, there are no well-controlled studies in pregnant women. It is still possible to take Bisacodyl if the benefits outweigh the risk. Please consult your doctor before starting on Bisacodyl.
Bisacodyl is not recommended to use during lactation without a doctor's consultation. Limited human data suggests that Bisacodyl does not represent a significant risk to the baby, but a consultation with the doctor would be best to evaluate the risks and benefits.
