Do you need a presciption for the Magic Bullet? FYI - My husband was this suppository months ago but the hospital stopped using it, I am not sure why. He is now in a nursing home and his current suppository is not working very well. I told his new doctor about the "Magic Bullet" but he does not know anything about it. He told me find out more information about it so he could "order" it. When he writes a prescription for it does he call it the "Magic Bullet"? And what would the "dosage" be?
Thanks for your help.

Each has the same active ingredient (Bisacodyl), but the Magic Bullets dissolve much faster and work more quickly and effectively. They used to work better than they do now. I think they may have reduced the amount of Bisacodyl, so I now use 2 instead of 1 when I do my bowel program every other day. 2 Magic Bullets are way better than multiple Ducolax suppositories, at least for me.

However, I have been buying them by the 10 pack rather than the whole box of a hundred. Why? I have found that despite them telling you that they have a shelf life of one year that it is more like six months. I used to buy them by the box beginning back in 1989 I think it was (when I was working a colleague told me about them) but after they had that fiasco where they were not available for so long--there is no doubt they've changed the formula because so many of us have noticed that. They are not as effective as they used to be. But also, like many of us, we are now dependent on them because they are the strongest and anything else doesn't work anymore. But yeah -- Express Medical has been very good for me for a while. But, whenever I go to order them I always call them to see when their expiration dates are. They used to get away with not putting the expiration date on the ones they sell individually as 10 packs but the FDA started regulating that. But I still have keep on top of things and want to order them when they have at least a four-five months shelflife left.

For the past 4-5 years I've been going to a local pharmacy that has a compounding pharmacy with it and they have been making mine. Well they keep increasing the price and it's getting outrageous. They are now wanting to charge me $73 for 60 suppositories. So I'm hoping to find somewhere else cheaper, since Medicare & Medi-Cal will not pay for them. Any help would be much appreciated!
