Detailed Answer:
Hello there..

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

I understand your query.

The drug dulcolax(bisacodyl)--a stimulant laxative if taken at appropriate dosage and frequency,is not known to affect CBC value and kidney scores(urea,creatinine).

However at higher doses,can cause significant electrolyte imbalance(decreased serum calcium,potassium etc)

Hope this answers your query.If any further doubts,don't hesitate to ask.

Regards
