The plumber has advised me to use it. he ran the snake down the toilet drain and it cleared something but did not fix my problem. He thinks the clog is probably in the y where the shower and toilet come together. He suggested the stuff and said that they do not like to sell it to anyone with plumbers and that I might have to insist. he was a nice guy and did not charge me running the snake when it did not fix my problem. Of course he was here on a $1000 job to fix the leak in my slab. Anyway, I have not tried it yet as it was just before Christmas and it is the bathroom off the guest room and not the one we really use.
