Yes I took one already .. Thanks!

I do, as necessary. They are after all, stool softeners!Good luck!Karen

I questioned my doc about this. I was told to avoid the stimulant laxs unless absolutely needed. They recommended milk of mag- which I have tried and does work. However, I have started taking stool softeners daily- just one to prevent the need for the lax.

I was told to take Collace... a stool softener. Very helpful and mild.

Miralax is non habit firming and mild. Many doctors recommend it!

Thank you Tom!

Your welcome.

I take Collace every night at bedtime. (2 capsules) I'm on a medication that makes me constipated. The Collace really helps.

Still confused. Have never heard a laxative referred to as male or female before. What would a male laxative be and why are there different ones for the different sexes?

I use laxatives all the time. As a matter of fact, I took two last night. Feeling constipated.
