For Constipation "This medicine worked for me! The other reviews were so negative. It scared me so badly! I decided to take this medicine for my constipation, and then after I took the pill at 12:30 pm after lunch (no milk or antacids with it though). I got online to find out how long it would take for it to work (it stated 6 to 12 hours), but for me, it was 4.5 hours. I did have some discomfort, but I had some discomfort from my constipation too. I am not saying that the other reviewers didn't have these horrible side effects, I am sure they did. I thought I would get on here though because those negative side effects do not happen to everyone! I do have to say though, I am so glad I didn't take it before bedtime (like suggested on the box) because that would have put me up at 2:30 AM in the morning when everything got flushed out. That wouldn't have made me a happy camper. Glad I decided to take it after lunch, and then I was home at 4:30 after work, and went to the bathroom, and it truly does clean you out! My advice: be smart with the timing and place you take this medicine if you decide to try it."

For Constipation "I took this pill on Thursday when I came home from work. This is the worst experience I've ever had with this pill. When I initially started taking it, I also took it with a swig of Milk of Magnesia. Yeah, I had cramps or whatever, but NEVER this long. So it was maybe 7 or so when I took this pill on Thursday. It did take time for it to work as told on the package. I had a little discomfort and everything, but it worked. But then Saturday night comes (now), and I've been experiencing this severe pain off and on since about 6 pm. I've been to the bathroom several times and also felt like I have to throw up, but I haven't yet. I just so happened to look up the reviews, and it led me to this website. Currently debating on going to the E.R."

For Constipation "This is the only laxative I've used that is effective without causing stomach cramps or discomfort. It works without fail and enables you to remain in control, no mad dashes to the toilet."
