When should Colace be taken?

I noticed that the manufacturer recommends taking Colace at bedtime.
But I think it acts as a surfactant to soften stool, I would have assumed it might make more sense to take it with a meal.
Is there a specific reason why bedtime dosing is preferred over taking it with food?

dizziness after nitroglycerin cream

Hi everyone,

I’ve been dealing with an anal fissure for about three months now. Today, I applied a small amount of nitroglycerin cream externally, and I’m feeling quite dizzy afterward.

Is this a side effect that goes away with continued use, or does it tend to happen every time you apply it?

I’d really appreciate hearing about others’ experiences. Thanks in advance!

What medications are you using for Crohn’s disease?
I also have IC, so I’m worried about drugs that might irritate my bladder.

In my country, doctors usually start with mesalazine(Pentasa) and azathioprine, and then move on to injectable treatments if needed.

Has anyone found medications that work for Crohn’s but don’t worsen bladder symptoms? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences.
