Offers great relief

Works well. I take it at night and in the morning I feel great relief. I feel slight cramping, but not too painful. It’s very easy to swallow and seems safe. I would recommend.

1 and done

I just had a hysterectomy and was advised to take something to help to get things flowing again. After 2 days without anything naturally happening, I ordered these for pick up. Almost 12 hrs after my first soft gel, I felt my first relief. Trying, to stay consistent I took another and it gave me diarrhea. I think with just 1 and you’re back to normal. Otherwise, I’m happy it worked for me.

Excellent effective product

Relied on this after both of my C-sections couldn’t live without it and took it everywhere with me. The gel pills are super small no taste or smell. Works wonders.

A good option

This stool softener does a good job of making your movements softer, so it's not as painful but doesn't get overly soft or like diarrhea, which is good. It's easy to take and doesn't create a bunch of cramps.

Reliable, no side affects

The go to product on the market for whenever you need it, you can relay on dulcolax and it does not contain any harsh ingredients which lead to horrible side affects.

It only takes one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to share my experience with Dulcolax, especially after encountering some concerning reviews that made me initially hesitant. I took the plunge and decided to try it for myself, ingesting one pill at precisely 3:30 PM. Staying committed to hydration, I drank over 25 ounces of water while I awaited the effects. To my surprise, by 4:30 PM, I enjoyed my first soft bowel movement. It was a relief, and the entire process felt gentle and manageable. As the night unfolded, I felt some mild stomach rumbles around 3:30 AM; however, they brought no pain or discomfort. My next soft bowel movement came at 5:00 AM, still feeling quite manageable. By 7:30 AM, I experienced a brief episode of diarrhea, which I understood could happen given the medication's action. Overall, my journey with Dulcolax exceeded my expectations. The effectiveness was impressive, with one pill accomplishing the task without any of the unpleasant odors I had worried about. If you're considering trying Dulcolax, I encourage you to give it a shot, as it worked incredibly well for me. I also appreciated the secure packaging that kept the pills fresh until usage. They are affordable and last a while, as you only need one. No smell until it starts working.

B product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not sure if it works for me. It takes a few days to work for me. Not my first go to when I am uncomfortable, but it would probably work well to keep regularity.

Works for me on ozempic

Natural feeling didn’t give me the runs . i’ve never been one as an adult to have digestive issues or trouble going to the bathroom. I did as a kid because I had surgery that had to do with my intestines, but as an adult never had an issue when I was starting this journey with Ozempic. one of the symptoms is diarrhea or constipation and it’s kind of scary knowing I had trouble as a child going to the restroom. I told the pharmacist what was going on and he explained to me what happens with those that your stomach slows down so the bile gets dried up, which is what makes you constipated & hard to come out so he recommended this & MiraLAX as a back up if this doesn’t do the job ,but I definitely recommend this. I took two I weigh about 230 pounds. since it states that it takes 7 to 12 hours my normal goal time in the morning before I get ready for work and shower is around 7:30 so I took it around 7:30 at night just in case the time around the time I would be home because as much as it says, it won’t give you you know the certain urge to go. You never know how your body will react to something and then you gotta go when you gotta go, especially being at work or in public. I’m writing a detailed review because I noticed most of the reviews on here are manufacturer reviews. If people will probably get the product for free if they leave a review so I hope this helps somebody. As for me, I didn’t have any cramping bloating or anything. I just woke up did my morning routine and felt like I had to go and I went.

Works like a charm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only needed this product once. But when I needed it, it provided so much relief, it wasn't even funny. Now I know the best product for the job next time.
