Dulcolax. Soft Chews Laxative Review.

Today's review is for a laxative. I'm taking Bupripion and it's caused me to be quite constipated, I do take Dicetel but it's struggling against the other medication, as I'm only on 150mg a day. I was very constipated and a bit bloated yesterday and I did not have prune juice on hand but I discovered we have Dulcolax in the house, I've never tried it before but I wanted to give it a go before trying prune juice.

The instructions state to take two pieces with a full glass of water, so today I took the Dulcolax at 7:50am, it actually didn't taste as bad as my little brother said, it wasn't great but they were berry flavoured. It made me gassy which is good to help encourage a bowel movement.

It's now 8:40am and it worked so well for me, I am very happy now. Sure my stomach is tired now but I'm thrilled with how it turned out. I would absolutely use this again in the future and I rate it 5/5.

Update: It's now almost 11am and my stomach is exhausted and I feel sick if I'm honest, just sludge-like, as if I ate a block of butter but it was still absolutely worth doing but I now rate it 4.5/5.  I've also discovered that using a laxative can interfere with bladder function that leads to a more frequent urination.

It's now 12pm and I have been to the bathroom successfully twice since I took it, I feel a bit less sick the second time and I hope only to improve. I may have only needed one piece not two personally, I'm unsure.

At about 1pm I had lunch and I found I have a less sick feeling once I ate, so when you take this I suggest just eating as you normally would, it would help with side affects.

At 3pm I am finally feeling myself again, I am no longer sick and I am no longer frequently urinating. This should be my final update, overall it was quite the experience but it worked very well for me despite side affects so I am pleased
