Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, https://doi.org/10.1002/cpt.3532

Bisacodyl is a widely used laxative that stimulates both motility and secretion. Our aim was to exploit the unique capabilities of MRI to define bisacodyl's mode of action. Two placebo-controlled cross-over trials were performed, one using a single d...
