Before going to bed, I took, as directed, three tablets of: "STOOL SOFTENER plus stimulant laxative (Docusate Sodium and Standardized Senna Concentrate)" two or three times a week for four months out of five, and had one serious side effect, one time: IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT.

I do not have a bowel movement if I don't take these pills. I have had SEVERE constipation since I was in grade school. I have tried it ALL. This has been the only thing that consistently works and doesn't cause horrible cramping and burning in my stomach. I DO have to take multiple of the extra strength 25mg pills though. I've seen several bad reviews from a few folks. If you are just having mild constipation because you are bad for several days, you probably do NOT need these extra strength pills. I can go days without going and not even feel like I need to go..no urge or anything...but I know if been eating several times a day soo lol. I have a peristalsis issue... contraction issue. I try to make sure I'm done eating by 6pm and then I take pills at bedtime and then I go in the morning.Read More Read Less

Chronic infrequent vowel movements. Two 25mg taken before bed worked great. Flattened stomach felt lighter. Continuing with half doses!

Took two 15mg tablets as directed in the instructions. First movement came in 16 hours followed by severe bowel cramping that continued for three days and nights. It is now day four, with multiple bowel movements still happening. Severe cramping was horrible day and night for three days. Vomited twice. It finally relieved my constipation but the experience was so unpleasant I will not use this product again.

Was very constipated. Worked in about 10 hours. But after not being able to go for a couple days, Iâ??m going and going and going. Severe cramping with it. Cramping almost makes you want to vomit. But it worked. Massive hemmoroids now.

This stuff is hideous. Cramping, nauseating. Whatever happened to good, old-fashioned, less sickening phenolphthalein? Use bisacodyl 5mg instead. One pill will start moving mountains in about 12 hours.

I took 2 25mg pills as directed on the package and experienced osmotic diarrhea. I experienced bad stomach cramps as well, but they did work.

I used an imported Swiss version of this medication. Taking half dosing, once a day (8.5mg) I was able to combat the effects of a very long drive coupled with terrible food and environmental changes. I would say effects were quite efficient, and very satisfying.

I have taken sennosides for years but have to take as many as 6 to 7 pills every day. It has worked properly until the last week. am concerned and don't really know what to do at this point.

sometimes 1 tablet is enough, depending on diet. 2 works fine.
