I am curious about the Magic Bullets you guy's talk about...I have been using ducolax or walgreens brand suppositories for 8 years..Do you guy's think Magic Bullets work better or may be better because as you mentioned they are water based ?? I'm wondering if I should try them.

I would definitely recommend something more designed for prolonged repetitive use. My doc said Dulcolax are not really designed for long-term use. (Obviously they've worked for you) You may notice faster more thorough results if you try others like Enemeez or Magic Bullet. From: [EMAIL

I started using a brand named Good Neighbor Pharmacy. They are called Bis A-Lax. The active ingredient is Bisacodyl, the inactive ingredients are cetyl esters wax, hydrogenated vegetable oil, and lanolin. They have consistently trimmed time off my program. I don't know if the lanolin has helped.
