Colace Reviews

Show: for
Only in "extreme" conditions
It works, but after I go to the bathroom and the constipation is relieved, then I hurt and ache the rest of the day.
As of April of 2009, I'm on a Miralax and Colace regimen. I take these two medications daily to ensure that I don't get constipated because that can be dangerous for me because I also have hydrocephalus.
I take the one with a stimulant in it, it takes a couple of days, but it works without side effects. The regular also works if you take it daily.
I've used this during the constipation phase. Takes a few days to kick in. No side effects. Use is temporary.
I took it with my pregnancies it helps
NOT HELPFUL ANYMORE-I ABUSED THEM!
Take one pill 4x a day. Mostly keeps things soft enough to pass.
Used the plain colace not the one with the laxative. Helped some but again not much.
Use this when things get really bad. Sometimes I have to take a daily pill as my psych meds make the constipation worse.
