Need to wait: Sometimes laxatives can take up to a couple of days to work. Don't get in the habit of using oral mineral oil as it can cause interference with the absorption of fat soluble vitamins like a, d, e, and k. In addition, if any of the oil gets into your lungs a pneumonia can develop.. Meet with your doctor to get more relevant info for your situation.
