A member asked:
What is a safe oral laxative (in tablet form) for use during pregnancy? is dulcolax ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several options: Dulcolax is safe but not particularly effective. I recommend MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) or the generic equivalent. That seems to work better. Fiber supplements like citrucel are also ok.
