    When it was given in an enema at the Urgent Care, it was amazing, with few side effects, except a rather explosive BM. I tried the home enemas, which hardly had any fluid, and it was completely ineffective. Next time, I tried the pills.

    This laxative gave me such terrible stomach pain, I thought I was dying. After 24 hours I am still in pain with bad diarrhea. Stay away.

    So to start off I was backed up for a week. I took this and NOTHING HAPPENED. I decided to take another one 18 hours later around 6pm. I woke up at 2 in the morning in agonizing pain.
