Dulcolax Stimulant Laxative Tablets, Overnight Relief, 50-Ct.

recently i've been experiencing a really bad bout of constipation, most likely due to a combination of chronic dehydration and a severe uptick in stress. Miralax powder used to be my go-to for occasional constipation, but this time it just wasn't cutting it. i felt bloated and backed up for over a month, and every time i was able to go it felt like i wasn't getting everything out. i tried saline stool softeners, eating chia seed pudding every morning, and pretty much anything else i could think of to avoid having to use a stimulant laxative because they honestly kinda scare me. i know it's a last resort kind of thing and it that can really mess up your rhythm if used in excess, but at this point i felt like it was finally time to give it a try. i'm 5'5 and 130lbs, and after reading the directions as well as the reviews on here i decided to take two of these with a large amount of water before i went to bed. i would recommend starting with just one like the directions say, but at this point i was desperate and two felt safe enough since the maximum recommended dosage is 3. i slept perfectly fine, and when i woke up in the morning i didn't feel any sort of cramping or urge to go or movement in my digestive tract, so i got a little disappointed because i thought it didn't work. well, after being up and about for maybe 15 minutes, i suddenly felt something coming on, and... yeah. this stuff works. i don't even remember the last time i felt this empty. be warned that it is NOT pretty the way it comes out lol. i do feel the need to stress that products like this are absolutely not something you should use regularly or for extended periods of time. it's something you should only resort to if nothing else has worked. i'm going to focus on staying hydrated and getting lots of fiber in my diet, and hopefully i'll get back to my regular rhythm. that being said, when i felt like i truly needed it, this product certainly did give me the results i was looking for.

Effective. The pills are tiny so be careful taking them out of the packaging. But they’re helpful! Do not taste like anything, good value, and pending the person can be gentle on the stomach. Mine tends to cramp more but it works.

Makes me go poop

I got introduced to this laxative about two weeks ago when I was prepping for my colonoscopy. I used it with the rest of my colonoscopy prep solution, and it worked great. A week later, I decided to take three before bed. When I woke up, I used the restroom twice right away! Then once more in the afternoon. I did get some mild cramping and gas, but those went away after I used the bathroom. I felt way better afterward. Next time, I'll just take one to see if I still get cramps and gas. I took a star off because of the mild cramping and gas. I think it's worth the buy if you're troubled with constipation. Just start off by taking one to see how you tolerate it..

I got this to prep for a colonoscopy rather than taking the awful Rx stuff they give you, and decided to do a trial run to make sure it works and… I don’t think strangers want to hear about how well it’s worked, and no matter how many times amazon asks me to share a photo or video I won’t do that to you guys. it’s also gentle, no nausea or cramping, and they’re just little tiny couscous-sized pearls so super easy to take. they kicked in after about 5 hours for me but I took 3 of them at once.

Works great. Just as described. I will make sure to have some of this from now on. I often suffer from bloating, whenever I know I need to just feel relieved or have over eaten, I take one at night. Nxt morning (first thing in the morning) I'm going!!

Dulcolax works well and does exactly what I need it to do. It is effective and convenient to use. I’m happy with the results and would definitely recommend it.

The tablets are comfort-coated, so they’re easy to swallow and didn’t cause any stomach irritation for me going down. One thing worth noting: it can cause some cramping a few hours in, which seems pretty normal for a stimulant laxative, so I wouldn’t plan anything too active the next morning. 50 tablets is a good supply for occasional use, and the “new look, same relief” packaging didn’t change how well it works. I appreciate that it’s a predictable, doctor-recommended option rather than something I have to guess about.
