Laxatives (Rectal)

Brand name(s): Bisco-Lax

Precautions While Using This Medicine

Do not use any type of laxative:

  • if you have signs of appendicitis or inflamed bowel (such as stomach or lower abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, soreness, nausea, or vomiting). Instead, check with your doctor as soon as possible.
  • more often than your doctor prescribed. This is true even when you have had no results from the laxative.
  • if you do not need it, as for the common cold, ``to clean out your system,'' or as a ``tonic to make you feel better.''
  • if you miss a bowel movement for a day or two .

If you notice a sudden change in bowel habits or function that lasts longer than 2 weeks, or keeps returning off and on, check with your doctor before using a laxative. This will allow the cause of your problem to be determined before it becomes more serious.

The ``laxative habit''-Laxative products are overused by many people. Such a practice often leads to dependence on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement. In severe cases, overuse of some laxatives has caused damage to the nerves, muscles, and tissues of the intestines and bowel. If you have any questions about the use of laxatives, check with your health care professional.

For patients using the enema or rectal solution form of this medicine:

  • Check with your doctor if you notice rectal bleeding, blistering, pain, burning, itching, or other sign of irritation not present before you started using this medicine.

For patients using the suppository form of this medicine:

  • Do not lubricate the suppository with mineral oil or petroleum jelly before inserting into the rectum. To do so may affect the way the suppository works. Moisten only with water.

trazodone problem
Hmmmm...I have taken inexpensive fiber products for the same reasons. Don't buy the inexpensive types. This is one area where spending a bit more for fiber pays off. I recommend well known names.
Now...it's smart to research this as some feel that fiber can actually carry some vitamin and drugs more easily out of the system w/o being well absorbed.
This fiber option is a good one and sometimes I take twice the dosage but...I alternate! I fear the depletion of drug and vitamin supplement absorption, so that's why I rotate or am careful. I like the apple flavor. They are expensive!
I alternate this with stool softeners. Research that too! It's safer than many a laxative but often laxatives have the same major ingredient.
This is confusing, I know. So check the major ingredient of a laxative to make sure it's not just the stool softener with a different label.
You don't want to just take that continually for so many, many reasons. (Consider the results for those who are anorexic and using such.)
Just use your best judgement and do the research and alternate your solutions. To me that means, take cookies or fiber products in a normal amount but several times a week, take double the dose.
Then use a stool softener on some other days. Then take some older solution on other days!
You can always take the recommended dosage of fiber products on a daily basis to prevent colon cancer, etc.
Also, I'd research older remedies that are well known and effective. Ughh....castor oil! But there's so many good things about this ugly tasting oil. I do believe it now might be found w/o the ugly taste.
Others will post their suggestions, I hope. With any, just rotate so that your system won't become rather "addicted" to one. Also, remember, you may lose water, and risk serious health issues with over doing laxatives.
Make the solution and research fun! Finding old remedies and cross reference them with "drug interactions," "contra-indications" and use of the particular solution when used over long periods of time.
Ughhh...again....enemas are already packaged and over the counter. Always have one or two available for emergencies. Always! You'll not regret it! This general discussion of constipation applies to narcotic pain meds too.
Ask your physician too! Now be careful here as all physicians aren't that careful and yours might rx one of these when rotating is safer for so very many, many reasons.
I try to take fiber daily at the recommended levels, upping such on some days, and also rotate with other solutions. Fiber in correct doses is so beneficial!
Try fiber cereals too! Go for it! Eat them while watching tv w/o milk, if you wish!
I have taken Trazodone. If you are a male, it is imperative that you research the possible side effects, of course!
There is also epsom salts. This one I'd surely research as it is a salt. Careful here for salt intake, possible precursor to a heart condition, etc.
Milk of magnesia! Again, do you homework. Magnesia must be cross referenced too for many reasons. Rotate all! Find out the dosages that will work for you for each of these. It's a lot of work but safe is better than some ugly problem that could have you end up in the hospital in a serious heart or related condition due to loss of water and nutrients that are needed to maintain a normal "system." (Loss of correct vocabulary is suddenly hitting me! Sorry!)
Rotate! Rotate! Be safe!
Good luck! I hope I've helped! [Wink]

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......

But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:
