User Reviews for Colace oral

intermittent variable hard lumpy stool as a rule

Colace was prescribed by doctor. Over active bladder was controlled but starting with Colace it has gone bad again. Stools are pebbles. Will I be ok with this med TY

Was recommended to try this during pregnancy due to frequent constipation before becoming pregnant...Safe to use daily during pregnancy...Saw results in 2 days....have had frequent BM since starting rx....some cramping and gas experienced but not enough to stop taking.....take 2 caps every day.....BM about every 1-2 days....no pain, straining, or stress.....would recommend to other for constipation

I am constipated from medications for another condition. One oral colace works but it does give me cramps during the day. Also I've been having really weird and unplesant dreams since I started taking it and I'm wondering if the colace is the reason. I always dream a lot but these have been particularly tense.

This stuff is great! I hadn't had a bowl movement in about 2 weeks or so and I felt like I couldn't move. I took the overnight version of this and felt like a new person the next morning. other laxatives and stool softeners have done nothing for me or were very painful. This is great!

I used this medication in liquid form one time while in the hospital. It burned my throat and roof of my mouth. I followed it with water and then with liquid Vicodin and some more water. The Burning was severe and I was concerned that it would cause damage to my recent esophageal and stomach surgery the reason for my being in the hospital for almost two weeks. I followed The burning dose with water, couple of ice-creams and some pudding. It was a frightening experience. Be aware of this possible side effect. I will use something less irritating to achieve the desired effect.Read More Read Less

I take this along with sennalex(sennakot) for 2 yrs because of aorta abdl bypass and the meds cause constipation but these two together are my best friends!!

pain killers after surgery caused me to be scary constipated.Colace to the rescue!It has helped me to have daily bowel movements while still on Vicoden.It was given to me daily in hospital,other wise I would never of heard of it.Available in grocery store.Great stuff

I started using this medication at physician's receommendation. It started very effective then became less effective so I increased the dose up to 8 caps per day. At first I noticed a particular odor in my stool from this medication. With increased dosage I now note that my skin and clothing have taken on this same smell. Supposedly, Colace is not absorbed by the body, but, I have detected this odor and observed it to increase with dosage.

can i produce a positive drug screen for meth using this drug?

I have IBS and colace is very effective in helping ease my constipation, the only issue I am having is that it sometimes makes me feel nauseous. Could this be from taking on an empty stomach, or on a full stomach? Or is nausea a normal side effect?

I have been on Colace for 3 years because my meds caused infrequent bowel movements. I take 2 capsules a day. I still have a lot of periods where I go 2 to 4 days without a bowel movement and when I do go I have to strain to get it to pass. It has gotten to the point where the stool has blood on the outside and on the toilet paper. I wish there was something that worked better than this. I don't want to start taking laxatives as I had grandparents who were dependent on them to go.

Has truly helped the blockage

Some of my medications make me prone to constipation. Colace seems to help with this situation.
