Constipation
"It&#039;s going to cause cramps and discomfort because it stimulates the bowel to move. I put up with the discomfort because other laxatives aren&#039;t as effective for me. I&#039;d suggest using Ducolax with a separate stool softener, right before bed. Maybe even take stool softener in the afternoon, then Ducolax at bedtime. I slept through cramps and had a movement in the morning. When I took it in the late afternoon, the cramps were pretty bad. Drink water/liquids lots."
