I suppose those for whom this medication works without any complications do not write reviews. But I must say that the medication worked quite well for me. I had to take only 10 mg and waited for about nine hours before having results. Process was normal with no cramps, urgency, nausea, etc. I took the med for about 24 hours (3x10 mg) just to be sure. One last thing about some of the other...

I didn’t have a bowel movement for about 3 days so I took 2 of these small pills which is the recommended dose. I woke up 12 hours later in the worst pain of my life, I’ve had 2 children and this was worse. I was dry heaving into the toilet and sweating profusely. I was screaming in pain and finally had an explosion all over the bathroom floor. It’s now been 42 hours and I’m still nauseated and having diarrhea. I’m trying to drink fluids so I don’t get dehydrated but they immediately squirt right out of me. I will never take this medicine again. I thought I would die from this. Read More Read Less

I have been dealing with severe constipation for 12 days, even having a trip to the ED. I was told to take Miralax, which I did. It helped with relieving 6 days of constipation, but still I didn't feel like I had a complete bowel movement. I continued the Miralax for 4 of the last 6 days. It is helping me 'go', but still not feeling the complete relief of a good BM. Today I bought this drug. I took one pill and nothing happened. Six hours later I took two pills and one hour after that I had the best BM that I've had in the last 12 days.Read More Read Less

Took 1 pill which is dose for 6-12 year old child. I’m a 54 year old woman. But I wasn’t sure what would happen as I’ve not used before. Within 4 hours, I had severe abdominal pains, profuse sweating. Nausea and dizziness which lasted 1 1/2 hours. After that I was chilled and shaking, stomach pain continued for 3-4 more hours with eventual diarrhea.

For 4 days I was totally constipated, had extreme discomfort/pressure in my lower abdomen with occasional sharp pains. Took 10 mg 5 hours ago, have had 4 movements in the past couple hours, all very substantial and pretty much liquid and therefore entirely comfortable. No side effects from it. This worked like a charm for me.

I've never felt so weak and dizzy. I got every side effect listed on the package, but far worse than I could have imagined. I felt like I was dying. However, it did pass in 36 awful hours, and I wasn't constipated any more.

I had used this drug before for treatment of constipation. One thing my experience taught me this time is to take the drug early, it often takes a lot longer than 12 hours to start working. I took 1 tablet on Sunday evening at 5pm with a large glass of water but it didn't start taking effect until 11.30am the next day, and continued to work through until the early evening of Monday. I experienced some cramping but it wasn't too bad, my stools were loose and watery but I didn't have diarrhea. I think the key to avoiding the awful side effects mentioned by others is to take the medication with lots of water, and start off taking 1 tablet and increase to 2 if the first dose is not effective. I would also recommend clearing your schedule for the next day, as you may need to make multiple trips to the loo and your stools will probably be watery.Read More Read Less

Symptoms of ulcerative colitis occurred the day after a colonoscopy. I had previously no symptoms for 20 years and this was just a routine check which showed no sign of the disease. 12 months later after trying to get the medical profession to take me seriously I have been found to have indeterminate ulcerated and bleeding bowel disease. Maybe now I can get treatment which hopefully will do me no harm.
