Laxative Forums (Page 26)

My roommate and I found a bag of pills on our other roommate's floor and we were curious about what they are... One is orange-peach in color and oblong in shape and has CIT on one side. The other is a small oval that is grey on one side and red on the other. P10 is on the grey side. Any information would be lovely. Many thanks, Kristen Toast. ## The faded looking orangish pill with CIT on it is a Citrucel Fiber tablet, meant to ensure someone gets enough fiber in a day and increase the regularity of bowel movements. The one marked P10 is a laxative tablet that contains 100mgs of Docusate Sodium. Are there any comments or questions? ## Congratulations on invading your roommates privacy, thinking they're a drug addict, when they have low fiber. Pathetic.

I am PRONE to kidney stones (do not have one currently) Can I take MiraLax? Does MiraLax cause kidney stones? ## I didn't find anything listing that it has been know to cause them. Learn more Miralax details here. But I'd suggest double checking this information to be certain. Has it been prescribed to you?

It is obvious that Metamucil has stopped producing the sugar free Singles Packets, it is sold out world wide and hasn't been made in 9 months, but they still promote it. They also say a legal - marketing statement about it that never changes. Why won't they say it is not being made? Was there something wrong with the product? ## I really don't know anything about it, since it isn't a prescription product. That means they aren't required to report anything on it to the FDA, such as if they decide to stop manufacturing it or etc. Have you tried contacting the company to ask? There is a website with a contact form at metamucil.com Learn more Metamucil details here.

Delotta side effects: had a test last month with the camera up your butt. Have not been able to go the the bathroom. Went to the hospital very very blotted, they gave me another Delotta, after the test my bowles cut loose. Thought every thing would be better. It got worse, now I look like I am four mo. pregnant, still cant go to the bathroom. Yes, I have eaten fiber, drink everything the pharm. advized, Philips Mag, exlax. ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is an opiate narcotic and it may cause some constipation, but it should not be continuing for that long after taking it.

for a child who is in heart failure ## Laxin contains the active ingredient Bisacodyl, which is a laxative. Learn more Bisacodyl details here. To be honest, a child with heart failure is a very, very touchy situation and I wouldn't recommend giving them anything without a doctor's approval. What other medications are they taking?

Please tell me what this pill is used for. i do suffer from Divercuticulitis (if i spell it right) - it's a stomach condition. thanks n GOD BLESS !!!!! ## Hi angel, If the pill you're describing is round and orange with "TCL 081" imprinted on one side, then I've identified it as Sennosides 8.6 mg + Docusate 50 mg; which is used as a laxative & stool softener. So it makes sense that it would fit your description for a stomach condition. Learn More: dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?id=25365 I hope this helps! ## Diverticulitis is actually a digestive disorder that most commonly affects the large intestine. And the tablet you're asking about with the TCL 081 marking is a laxative that contains 8.6mgs of Sennosides and 50mgs of Docusate Sodium. Learn mo...

I used the prescribed Moviprep for my last colonoscopy prep. It was very hard to drink due to the bad taste. I thought I did a better job drinking the whole preparation this time around and yet after enduring this my bowel was not completely clean. I have just heard about the use of Miralax as a better tasting alternative. Any comments? ## I'm not sure that any laxative or medication really tastes good, unfortunately. Learn more Miralax details here. And I've never tried Miralax. However, you'd need to check with your doctor as to what's okay for you to use for such tests. One tip I can give you when taking something that doesn't take good is to take a deep breath, pinch your nose shut and then swallow it down as fast as you can. Smell is a very large part of taste, ...

when do I expect a result after taking the tablet and do you have to rush for toilet? ## Resotrans (Prucalopride) is a medication designed to treat chronic constipation. I don't think you'd have to rush for the toilet as you say, but I would definitely know where a bathroom is at all times if you leave the house after taking this medication. That way you can handle any surprises. Lol The article linked below seems to have a lot of information on this drug that should be able to answer some questions about its efficacy: medpagetoday.com/Gastroenterology/GeneralGastroenterology/9630 I hope this helps and wish you safe and effective bowel movements! :)

I have been taking amytripyline for about six months for fybromyalgia pain. My doctor prescribed me the little blue pills in 25mg of which I take six. Only side effects have been dry mouth and slight constipation at times. My pain was gone within a week of taking it and I could not have been happier because I could now function and do things like play with my child and clean house. Well yesterday I cleaned house all day and felt fine. My prescription needed a refill so I sent my daughter to pick it up for me. When I got the script I was no longer the blue pills, instead one 150mg pink pill. I took it and went to bed, no big deal. This morning I feel like a truck ran over me. I have not hurt like this in a while!! So my question is this....has anyone else experienced this with the differ...

I'm allergic to penicillin and the nurse has given me lactulose solution to take. Is this safe?? ## Yes, they are not related, at all. Penicillin is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Penicillin details here. You can usually recognize its relatives by that cillin on the end, another example would be Amoxicillin, it is a close relative. However, Lactulose is a non-digestible sugar that's used to treat constipation. Learn more Lactulose details here. Are there any other questions I can help with?

Are there any Casanthranol Docusate Sodium products available in the U.S.? ## Unfortunately, I'm not finding the Casanthranol listed as being available, it seems that most products that contained it have changed their formula and now use Bisacodyl. Docusate sodium is available in quite a few products, though. Have you tried asking your pharmacist to help you find an alternative?

Found a red pill with A 9 2 on it. what is it for? ## I've tried looking for this quite a few times, now and I am just not pulling up anything on a pill with this marking in any of our prescription drug resources. Was it found in the U.S.? I have a sneaking suspicion that it may be something that is available over the counter. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## It is a stool softener, I asked my pharmacist for some free stool softeners and he gave me some in an unmarked pill bottle, it is colace or a substitute.

i took about 32 ounces of this stuff to clean me out BUT had to stop cause my st0mach was killing me. ## Go Lytely contains: polyethylene glycol, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, and sodium sulfate And is used to clean out the bowels, usually before medical testing. And yes, anything that works basically as a laxative can cause those types of side effects and you may also experience: bloating, vomiting or nausea. Have you contacted your doctor about this? ## I drank one glass of golightly and in 15 minutes, I became severely short of breath, started shaking, and my head was swimming. I then looked up the side effects and they were there. I took one sip several hours later and instantlay experienced the same reaction. Be aware!

pls suggest me a tablet that will cause loose motion to clear the stomach. ## Normal medications that can cause bowel movements do not actually cause the stomach to clear any faster than normal, what they actually work on and clear are your bowels. As to what you can use, I am not sure what all is available for you, but usually the safest to use would be just a fiber supplement. Learn more about dietary fiber here. However, you should check with your doctor, before using anything, to make sure it is safe for you to do so. Are you having a problem with constipation?

I found 2 pills in my cousins room they are brown with red speckles, they are round and have a B on them. What are they? ## This imprint is kind of vague, so I believe we can rule it out as being a prescription medication. However, looking at over the counter medications, we can't be 100% certain, but it might be a Sennoside based laxative, I have seen several that meet this description. However, this is just a guess, as I said, I'm not sure. Learn more Senna details here. Did you ask your cousin about them? Is there some reason to believe they may have a drug problem? ## Thank you for responding and giving me another option that I can research. I asked my cousin about them and of coarse I got the usual response "I don't know whos they are" all wide eyed and innocent...
