According to MedHelp the fastest active laxative is the drug bisacodyl when administered as a rectal suppository.

The over-the-counter version is Dulocolax. You can purchase Dulocolax in tablet form. However for a super fast acting laxative that will work in minutes, not hours you should try Dulcolax as a suppository. You do not require a prescription or doctor to adminster Dulcolax. You can purchase Dulcolax and administer them youself.

For an even more effective laxative I’ve discovered that combining Dulocolax with Docusate sodium works best.

Dulcolax (a stimulant laxative) works really well with Docusate sodium (a non-stimulant stool softener). Dulcolax as a suppository is fast acting whereas Docusate sodium provides a more delayed release.
