(This usually produces a bowel movement in 30 minutes to 6 hours). Phillips’ liquid laxative works with the body’s natural process to relieve occasional constipation.

Constipation, or irregularity, is a condition in which stools pass more slowly than usual through the bowels (intestines), occurring when too much water is removed from the stools, becoming hardened. A variety of factors may contribute to constipation, including dehydration, lack of sufficient fiber, low physical activity, and diet changes. Phillips’ has been a trusted brand for over 150 years.

Taste is way better than most laxatives. I was so backed up for 4 days and this opened the flood (literally) gates. Just make sure you aren’t going anywhere important and there is a RR nearby.
Relief at last - yay!

I was seriously constipated after taking a heavy-duty antibiotic. I called my insurance company's advice nurse, the urgent care people, and my doctor suggested. I bought Milk of Magnesia after I saw it mentioned in the Mayo Clinic book on Digestive Care. I took it at 10:00 last night, and voila!
Works well!

Your dosing instructions aren't clear you need to say how many tablets. No one knows how many tablets your ml is
Slack Filled with water and greed.

Growing up Mama would give me Milk of Magnesia (MOM) from time to time. It was thick, and had a minty taste and you had to shake it up because it settled. Today, its water that tastes like fish, which is not the original flavor at all. Honestly I think eating a thick bacon sandwich and having a large cup of black coffee, with a ice cold Topo Chico works better for constipation. Its almost a Roto-Rooter for your Tooter.

As someone who is 5 months pregnant and limited on what they can take, this works great! Better than miralax and colace. HOWEVER I am not a picky person and I can barely get it down without throwing it back up. It tastes awful lol
It works! No complains here.

I was constipated for 5 days after surgery, took this about 4pm and had a BM at 6am the next morning. I took the highest dose it recommended and I did not need to be home that day nor the next. Taste was decent. Great price.

I got this after reading the reviews and it definitely works. Started working in 2 hours and didn’t cause a bunch of stomach pains like other laxatives have. I had to take off a star for the horrendous taste though. It tastes like the liquid version of the stuff used to make a mold of your teeth. I could barely handle it. Even thinking about it makes me gag. I’d only get this again if I was desperate.
Thank you!

Not the best taste (though WAY better than the cherry) but does the job, gently.
It tastes like rotten seafood.
