https://www.drugs.com/mtm/milk-of-magnesia.html Milk of magnesia usually works between 30 min 6 hours. Unclear when you took the prune juice in relation to the MOM. To avoid constipation is drink plenty of fluids 2-3 liters a day and have some high fiber food like greens, berries, sweet potatoes . https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/fiber-and-constipation-truth#TOC_TITLE_HDR_6
