My god I’ve always had troubles with constipation before kids. Used to use them regular to help me toD I went through a stage after my daughter where I went regular so didn’t need them, my son is 5 now and for past year gone back to how I was before kids! So I got some and I thought I’ll take 2 wow never again felt like I was having another child 🤣 anyone else ?!

Yes . I suffer with constipation quite badly. If I take one dulcolax and it doesn't work very well then I have been known to take three. I usually take two and it does give you terrible stomach ache. Mind you though there is nothing left on your bowels or lower intestines!

It’s evil and banned in our house

Don't ever get the liquid. I take it for a medical condition. There is NO margin for error.

Try ducoease- it's way more gentle as the name suggests.

I use suppositories. Less unpredictable.

My doctor once prescribed this for me and I was convinced he was trying to kill me! Never again.

Dulcoease is much less harsh. Does the job in a far less aggressive manner!

It does nothing for me at all. I once took 8. De nada.

I found this. Impossible to get right. I generally have no digestive issues. But after being constipated after an shoulder operation, which is well known, I took 1 tablet, nothing. So I'm in so much pain. 2 nothing. 3 I exploded. Hurt myself and winded myself from the rushing to the loo. Not good.
