Drug reviews
I encountered the problem of emptying during pregnancy, I do not know for what reason, but there were problems with the stool - I could not go to the toilet for more than three days. My doctor recommended me Microlax. Its main difference from other drugs is that it is perfectly safe for both a pregnant woman and a child. I liked the convenience of use: it does not hurt, although comfort, of course, is not enough. It acted fairly quickly - literally an hour later had already coped with the problem of constipation. Now in my home first-aid kit there is always this remedy, the more so it is suitable for newborns.

This tool was advised by our pediatrician, since the 2-month-old son had problems with the chair. For me, this is now a real salvation: it is inexpensive, it is very simple to use (no need to be wise with the enema), absolutely safe. When she used it herself when constipation appeared, there was a slight burning sensation once, but she did not observe any side effects.
