Magic Bullet Laxative Suppositories for Gentle, Effective Relief
Need rapid constipation relief? The Magic Bullet Suppository offers a gentle yet effective alternative to enemas, working within 15 to 60 minutes to stimulate natural bowel movements. Each suppository contains 10 mg of bisacodyl in a water-soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG) base, which dissolves faster than traditional oil-based formulas for reliable results. Designed for smooth insertion, they are suitable for both self-use and caregiver administration.
These suppositories are widely used in structured bowel management programs, including neurogenic and chronic constipation care. The PEG base promotes faster absorption, reducing delays often associated with oil-based preparations and supporting more efficient routines.
- Neurogenic bowel programs: Shortens bowel care duration and improves daily scheduling.
- Spinal cord injuries (SCI): Stimulates bowel function to support regular, comfortable management.
- Post-surgical recovery: Addresses constipation related to anesthesia or immobility with a gentle solution.
- Chronic constipation: Fits into long-term care plans without harsh stimulant effects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Usage & Effects
What is the expiration date and shelf life?
Each box is marked with an expiration date. Do not use after that date. The water-soluble PEG base may become softer over time, so store under 86 °F (30 °C) and avoid freezing. Some users refrigerate for brief firming but confirm product stability.
Why is it hard to open the packaging?
The tamper-resistant, individually sealed wrapper is designed for protection and shelf stability. Some users find it difficult to open—pulling the tabs outward or cutting carefully may help.
Why did I get diarrhea or IBS-like symptoms after using it?
Some users report unintended diarrhea or gastrointestinal sensitivity, especially over time. If symptoms persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Is insertion uncomfortable or difficult for some users?
Some users with limited dexterity or sensitivity report discomfort during insertion. Using a water-based lubricant and inserting gently can reduce discomfort. Wrap handling aids or inserters may help.
