Tomorrow there is a test of my mom - Urodynamic test. Thus doctor has suggested to clear your stool by taking dulcolax.
But since she is taking cremaffin as suggested by another doctor.

Hence pls confirm whether she can take both tonite or only dulcolax.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for posting your query.

Dulcolax is different than cremaffin.

Dulcolax is better to clear the bowels of stools far better than cremaffin.

Please follow the instructions of urologist as they need to bowel to be completely empty for the test.

I hope that answers your query.

Best regards
