I take one once in a while when nothing else seems to help. I found some very tiny ones at Walmart...they are only like 5ml (?) and sometimes I have to take 2...but they are so very easy to swallow and work within about 8-10 hours.

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?

It's just the brand I think ....it's very gental ....I don't know about mans lax

Drinking 100% prune juice also helps. I just bought me another bottle. It's best to drink a cup every night before bed. Believe me, in the morn, you will not have a problem going to the restroom. LOL

I use MIRALAX every morning in my coffee. It doesn't have any taste/flavor and works like clock work. Certain meds make you constipated as well as HIGH Protein diets. Some bandsters are plagued by the problem and others don't have any. Do what you need to do for you. Drink lots of fluid! Everyone should.
