For Constipation "Omg, I will never take this drug again. Like the other people here who stated it caused nausea, stomach cramping, and so on, yep, I had the same side effects as well. I took one yesterday around 4 pm, and it kicked in about an hour later. Today it's 10 am, and I am still getting the abdominal pain occasionally. Yes, it definitely does the job, but the side effects are downright horrible! I had the chills, worst stomach/back pain ever, nausea, fatigue, and generally overall feeling like crap. Thank goodness I didn't have to work today. If you have a sensitive stomach, do not take this!"

For Constipation "Horrible stomach cramping and the urge to vomit, but never did. I think I would have rather stayed constipated! Ouch!"

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."
