Caused cramping and diarrhea. Symptoms caused by the laxative were way worse than the slight constipation that I took the pill to alleviate.

Very odd reviews. I never have a problem with Womens Ducolax. No cramps, no pain, just a regular movement in the morning. It is actually the only one that I use. I dont overuse. Just 2 pills at bed with lots and lots of water.

The pain lasted for a couple of hours with no BM at all just ... Show Full Comment
