Dulcolax Medicated Relief Bisacodyl Laxative Suppositories, 16ct, 6-Pack

I had never purchased Ducalax before, but I needed it today. I was skeptical, because the situation was pretty bad.....but this product worked in less than 15 minutes, bringing me HUGE relief! Another reviewer was correct--it's a bit uncomfortable at first. Also, my suppository fell out before it was entirely absorbed, but that did not stop it from working!

So I had accidentally eaten 2 bags of fiber gummies(the shameless snacks) while out at the late and I didn't realize how much fiber was in them and I did not drink enough water so the next morning I was sunburnt and cramping from a full gut. This helped so much. It wasn't uncomfortable to insert like I thought it would be and in like 10 minutes I had the biggest bowl movement of my whole life. For the rest of the day I felt like I needed to poop a few more times with very little coming out, so definitely stay home or near a toilet but it helped so so much.

The best relief after surgery. Worked in less than 10 minutes and no abdominal strain after a full hysterectomy and no movement for 5 days. So grateful for the relief!

I liked that it worked and worked fairly fast. I was nervous cause it was my first time. I actually think it could have worked better if I had laid down.

Amazing product! I was quite literally stuck on the toilet in awful pain thinking I may need to go to urgent care. I tried this and in 3 minutes I went!

I have never had any problems that required using something like this before, so I was really nervous and hesitant. I hadn't gone #2 in a week. Nothing helped (I even took Dulcolax pink laxatives). I finally tried this product, and I am SO glad I did. It made me go within 30 minutes of taking. It was very easy to use and insert.

I had been constipated for over a week- my back had started to hurt, I was so bloated it looked like I'd gained 10 pounds, and it was over the holiday! :( I know the sound of putting something up your butt hole sounds terrible, gross, and traumatizing, but it's seriously not that hard, and well worth it!!!! Just make sure you “retain” it for 15-20 min as instructed so it works the best.

I suffer from irregular constipation due to my chemo treatments and other laxatives give me such bad stomach cramps. I can take these and within 15/20min have a bowel movement and feel so much better!! Best thing to help constipation I've ever found!!

Some frank comments: This is not a gentle overnight laxative or something to keep you “regular.” This is a waxy bullet that goes where-the-sun-don't-shine, where it melts and releases an irritating chemical, forcing your colon to push out the blockage. You will feel intense intestinal cramps as it does its job. However, they are highly effective if you've gone for three or four days without going no. 2. Why you would use one: They are predictable, effective and portable. Usually, it takes one hour between insertion and getting off the toilet. In my experience, Dulcolax pills intended to work overnight are unpredictable and can take effect at the worst times. I stash a bullet or two (rather inconspicuously) with my toiletries whenever I'm on business travel or vacationing with the family. How to use one (advice from talking to an RN, somewhat graphic): Man up! The waxy bullet needs to be driven as far up your butt as you can get it (but touching the intestinal walls and not buried in stool), so that the medication can adequately stimulate your lower colon. Getting it "just in" will burn more and cause you to go to the toilet and expel it before any stimulation of the colon takes place. You'll get no results besides a partly melted suppository. You need to lie on your stomach or left side for at least 15 minutes to allow the solid wax to fully melt. At this point, you should be feeling some cramps start to hit. At this point, I get up and start walking around to help get things moving as well as a distraction from the cramps. You should hold it in for as long as possible (I usually aim for 30 minutes) before heading to the throne. DON'T pass "gas" until you're on the toilet (clench your cheeks), or you'll end up with a greasy mess in your underwear/pants. Try to have as thorough a dump as possible before going about the rest of your day. I've occasionally needed to make a second trip to the bathroom an hour or so later if there's anything left. I shower afterwards to get rid of any irritating suppository residue back there.

I find that these work well. My problem is opening the suppository from its container. I'm finding it very difficult to open. I'm 82 years old and have a bit of arthritis in my hands. I can separate the top but opening the rest of the container is VERY difficult for me. Is there anything I could do to make it easier.
