I don't know if the information below answers your question totally ... but this is what I could find.

Bisacodyl - Clinical Pharmacology

Mechanism of Action HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablets Bowel Prep Kit induces diarrhea which cleanses the colon. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative, is hydrolyzed by intestinal brush border enzymes and colonic bacteria to form an active metabolite [bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl) pyridyl-2 methane; (BHPM)] that acts directly on the colonic mucosa to produce colonic peristalsis. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The osmotic activity of HalfLytely solution results in no net absorption or excretion of ions or water.
