Kokando Beauluck A (Byurakku A) 400 Tablets

KOKANDO 400 Tablets is commonly sold as Kokando Beauluck A (Byurakku A) 400 Tablets, a Japanese over-the-counter stimulant laxative used for constipation relief. It is not a weight-loss supplement, despite being marketed that way by some resellers.

Product Information

Active Ingredient

• Bisacodyl 15 mg per maximum daily dose (3 tablets). Bisacodyl stimulates the colon and increases bowel movements. 

Indications

• Constipation

• Relief of symptoms associated with constipation, including:

  • abdominal bloating

  • hemorrhoids

  • poor appetite

  • rough skin

  • pimples

  • heavy-headed feeling and hot flushes associated with constipation

Dosage

Adults (15 years and older)

• 2–3 tablets once daily before bedtime.

Children (11–14 years)

• 1–2 tablets once daily before bedtime.

• Start with the lowest dose and adjust as needed.

• Swallow whole with water.

• Do not chew or crush the tablets. (JSM Database)

Expected Effect

• Usually works within 6–12 hours, so it is normally taken before sleep for a bowel movement the following morning. (Asian Trend Beauty)

Warnings

• Do not take with other laxatives.

• Avoid excessive doses.

• Consult a doctor before use if pregnant, under medical treatment, or experiencing severe abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting.

• Stop use and seek medical advice if symptoms persist for more than one week.

• Possible side effects include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. 

Important Note

Many Japanese and Asian online sellers advertise Kokando 400 Tablets as a "slimming" or "diet" product. However, its actual pharmacological action is as a stimulant laxative. Any temporary weight reduction is generally due to bowel emptying and fluid loss rather than fat loss.

If you are using it for constipation, I can also compare it with common Japanese products such as Byurakku A, Colac, and Senokot and explain which is gentler for long-term use.
