For Constipation "I have not had a soft BM in 6 months. Stool softeners don’t work... I tried the suppository and my stomach was cramping within 10 minutes. It says to try to keep it in for 20, and I couldn’t. It was at 13 minutes I had to go. There was so much that came out. I feel a whole lot better now."

For Constipation "I tried Dulcolax suppository 10 mg as for the past several weeks I have been having constipation/hard stools, which has left me feeling pretty yucky. Within 5 min, I had to go, and though I think if I had held for longer than 10 min, it might have cleared more, but it was nice to not feel pain when going to the toilet. Stomach felt a bit uncomfortable and a bit of burning for about an hour, then it passed."

For Constipation "I have been taking medications that have side effects that keep me from having a bowel movement. I've used plenty of different things to try and relieve my constipation, and nothing has worked. I used this medication once, and within 15 minutes, I had a bowel movement. I highly recommend this product."

For Constipation "I think the Dulcolax suppositories are horrible. That causes the worst pain in the lower stomach, it's the longest time sitting on the toilet... Usually, I would use Fleet Enema, which is great. Painful, but well worth it... Use the liquid enema. I'll never use this again. The enema is like $3 for a 2-pack, this stuff is $10 for a five-pack of suppositories. This is crazy."

For Constipation "I took the bisacodyl suppository yesterday as I was constipated for two days and had pain in my back. I had only put it in five minutes, and I was in a terrible state. I thought I was going to pass out with the cramps I got, my anal area got very sore, and I only emptied my bowels a little. I personally would never, ever use it again. I ended up in the emergency department, I was that bad. Why did this happen to you?"

For Constipation "I thought getting over Covid was bad, this takes the cake. Nauseated with burning in my rectum. Lightheaded and horrible cramping. I thought I was giving birth out of my butt. I had hemorrhoids under control, but the pressure made my bottom completely flip out. I would never, ever use this again."

For Constipation "Used one suppository due to several days without a BM. Within about 10 mins, I had severe abdominal cramping. Severe burning and pain. I felt lightheaded and shaky. Very uncomfortable."

For Constipation "It works, but don't be alarmed if you feel like you're going to pass out and you start to cramp. Very intense stuff."

For Constipation "I tend to have bowel movements every other day, and a week before starting my period is hard for me to go. I tried the Dulcolax suppositories, and they work like a charm. I insert the suppository, and about 15 minutes later, I feel the natural urge to go, and I go smoothly! Yes, there is some mild cramping, but it is not uncomfortable. It burns a little bit, and it keeps working for about an hour after, so plan ahead. I definitely recommend this product."
