There are plenty of non-medicated, home remedies for constipation that work quite well in 24 hours or less.....which is much faster than this "mira"cle "lax"ative. I've never used any medication for constipation; I've always used natural laxatives. It may be a "fine product" Dr.Blumenthal, but by the time you prescribe it, a patient coming to you is in need of medical attention. The ad is for people who aren't seeing a doctor - and they get the false impression they will be moving soon...not up to 3 days later.

The deception from the company here is not that the stuff works, but they imply it works fast - faster than alternatives - and that is just plain wrong.

BTW, if someone is so constipated that they haven't had a movement in several days, they really need to see a physician....there's something seriously wrong.
