constipation
"I have been using dulcolax for a couple of years. I only use it if I haven't been to the loo for more than 5 days and if I have the next day to be at home. I take two tablets around 7pm and when I wake in the morning it completely clears me out. Yes it does give some form of diarrhea but I'm willing to accept this for a hour or so as it makes you feel so much better. It does give you tummy ache and cramps and you do feel like the pain will never go away but once you've been to the toilet it goes, it can't last forever. You have to accept a bit of tummy ache/pain if you are pooing out days worth of poop. Love Dulcolax. It's a strong tablet, but gets the job done."
