I get the equate version of peri-colace at wal mart... This was Dr. recommended after the colonoscopy was done due to bloody stools... I have been on 2 tabs at bedtime for 4-5 years now with zero side effects... Im kept regular and have easy bm's... Dont think it works? Try going without for a few days... very happy with this product...

I have had to use Colace sense being diagnosed with colon cancer. I am on chemo and blood thinner for blood clot and have been constipated sense that time. dr put me on Colace and it has helped more than the Metamucil I was on before.

I have never taken this product before. I was use to taking Colace. I want to se if this is better for me. I have to take a lot of pain medication, and I take 3 in the morning and 2 at lunch and 2 more at night. I do this to have a smooth bowel movement. This has been very good for me, but I want to see if this will work better so that I don't have to take so much. I take Oxycodone 3 times a d1 10/650 and a fentanyl patch 75mg every3 days. I also take Neurontin 600mgs 3 times a day and Elavil 150mg once at night. This is along with soma, baclofen 20mg, Crestor, and a few others I don't care to mention. I hurt my back on the job, and I have at least 5 spinal surgeries and the whole gambit of other things that I don't care to speak of. I am in the first week of taking PERI Colace, so far so good. I will start decreasing the amount of PERI Colace to see if I can take fewer of them and have a smoother bowel movements with that amount of medication.Read More Read Less

I have noted that every product which contains SENNA can cause painful bleeding. So if you have an hemorroide Senna product can give you more trouble than you ever expected.

Every time I take it I have no problems, just a little cramping, but it is better than feeling all bloated and nauseated. I highly recommend it to anyone with bowel problems!

My daughter had a serious adverse reaction to this drug. Weakness in extremities, pounding migraine and dizziness. They do not warn you of the adverse side effects.

It was given to me in the hospital after my son was born to keep things "moving" and prevent excess straining. It's great - I still use it on occasion, when needed, almost nine years later. You can get some cramping from it, but they pass pretty quickly.
