I had a pill caught in my throat for about two minutes. During that time the pill covering began to dissolve. My throat felt like it was being bathed in acid. I did cough up the remaining pill and drank water but my throat remains irritated after 24 hours. If pills sometimes get caught in your throat, I would find an alternative medication.

This drug can tear you guts out......I wound up with bloody stool and very painful intestines. My neighbor was using Swiss Kiss which is an Herbal and much, much better on your insides.

Drug does work, however I have problems swallowing and if it gets caught in you mouth it will start to de-solve and has almost a toxic taste that lasts for a whole day. I have found over the counter Miralax does the same thing. It's cheap, tasteless...mix with any liquid and you taste nothing.

I would recommend only taking this if you are in dire need. I've had stomach cramping and diarrhea as a result of this medication.
