A member asked:

Friend pranked me with bisacodyl. have had diarrhea all day. thought it was over, came back. how long should this last? so not funny. *sigh*

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: on how much bisacodyl they gave you...you may want to go to your doctor if this lasts longer than 1 day. And find a new friend...? Hope you feel better and drink lots of fluids.
