Much, much better than senna. Reasonably gentle yet definitely effective. Best laxative I've taken for constipation.

I took 3 dulcolax around 11pm and woke up at 7:30 with the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. I was sweating like crazy, nauseous, and in excruciating pain all over my stomach. 100x worse than period cramps but a similar pain. I thought I was dying. I threw up from the pain. I was crawling around on the floor trying to find a position to ease the pain. About 2 hours later it got worse and I fin...

I took 2-5 mg tablets of bisacodyl at bedtime last night. I woke up this morning with the worst pain imaginable. I was in the bathroom 1/2 the day. Then, went out with my husband and I thought I was going to die. I came home, went to bed, still cramping, upset stomach, now only liquid bowel movements. I feel weak, sick, hot--almost like a flu virus. Do not take this product--period! You will regret it!!! I will never, even take this again and I just threw out the tablets I bought yesterday. This needs to be taken off of the market!!!!Read More Read Less

I took this because it says "for Women" and hoped that meant "gentle on my female system". However, while it did clean out my system, I was very uncomfortable throughout a 12 hour period while it worked on me...severe stomach cramps, gas, bloating, frequent runs to the toilet, and watery stool spraying from my bottom. It was a terrible, terrible experience and I cannot recommend this product to other women.

It worked in the time limit that was on the medication. There was some pain and my butt burns but it was all worth it getting out the stool that has had me backed up for a week and a half. This laxative is the only thing that works for me. Normally it is not painful but maybe it was just because I had a large stool. Anyways I love this medication it works great.

After being constipated for 3 days, which is very rare for me, I took 2 tablets at bed time, the dosage being stated as "take 1 to 3". I woke up several times in the night with terrible stomach pain, had to stay home from work today due to uncontrollable runs, have probably passed 3 or 4 pints of water from my rectum, my ass burns, and I still feel bloated and weird with sore stomach. I am a healthy 57-yr old woman with no history of stomach or colon problems or disease.

Severe vomiting after the consumption of bisacodyl. Vomiting lasting 6+ hours causing severe head pain. Head cat scan and spinal tap performed to rule out bleeding.
