I've been dealing with occasional constipation for a while now, and I recently tried Bisacodyl 5mg EC Tablets. They've been pretty effective, but I'm curious to hear about other people's experiences. I've read that they can cause some side effects, like stomach cramps, but I haven't had any major issues. Has anyone else had success with this laxative, or do you have any better recommendations for short-term relief? Side note: I've heard that it's important to stay hydrated while using this medication, does anyone have any tips for managing constipation without relying too heavily on laxatives? Also, I've been using it for about a week, do I need to worry about any long-term effects?
