As a GI doctor here, please note that the active ingredient here is Mag(OH)2 which is an osmotic laxative, not bisacodyl which is the active ingredient in the usual Ducolax which is a stimulant laxative.

Thanks for the info, but you shouldn't stop with that. Please, share your expertise on the differences/pros&cons. We could google but it's not the same thing. Thanks
Not really. Osmotic ones are typically the first ones one should try if taking a laxative and stimulant ones should be the last resort for anything OTC.

From a guidelines standpoint, both are reasonable options. Magnesium only made it into the last iteration of constipation guidelines so fairly new that it is recommended for ongoing constipation, though people have been using it as a rescue for a while (ex. mag citrate). With bisacodyl and stimulant laxatives, we used to be concerned that people would become dependent on them, but this has not been seen in studies. There may be some concern about spasms etc.
I think 95% of people however would probably consider Miralax as first line (or after high fiber diet [ex. green kiwi fruit, prunes], exercise etc.). That being said, there are a large percentage of people that do fine on bisacodyl and use it for management of chronic constipation. Some people use stool softeners for constipation, but studies have not found this to be any better than placebo.
Obviously if there are red flag signs (ex. blood in stool, weight loss, iron deficiency etc.), further evaluation is recommended before just treating constipation.
This is obviously not medical advice and just for general information. Hope that helps.
