Getting ready for another colonoscopy and have used this medication with all 5 of the other ones. It has worked within a 4 hour period after taking it and drinking lots of water afterwards.

Comment:
I've taken Magnesium Citrate before for extreme irregularity and it worked great, but when I took it this time I felt really nauseous and actually threw up a few times and I'm still waiting for it to work and do its job. I just don't know why it's not working this time, I drank the whole bottle and lots of water.
