Is The Magic Bullet Suppository the right option for you? Here’s what you need to know if you’re dealing with constipation.
If you’ve been struggling with the discomfort and frustration of constipation, finding fast, reliable relief can feel like a game-changer. You have several options for treating constipation, varying in their degree of effectiveness, both in the short and long term.
A suppository, specifically The Magic Bullet Suppository, is the best choice for many people. What should you know before choosing this method for treating constipation?
How Does The Magic Bullet Suppository Work?
The Magic Bullet suppository is designed to help relieve constipation.
It contains bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative known for its fast-acting effects. The effects typically kick in within an hour after insertion.
The Magic Bullet works by gently stimulating the bowel to encourage movement.
Who Should Consider The Magic Bullet Suppository?
The Magic Bullet is a safe and effective treatment for constipation. However, it’s not right for everyone. You should avoid using this product if you experience:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Rectal bleeding
This is the case whether you are currently experiencing these symptoms or you experience them as a reaction to the product.
Suppositories like The Magic Bullet might be an option for people who can take a medication rectally. It should never be taken orally. Furthermore, it’s essential to ensure you’re near a bathroom after inserting The Magic Bullet. Although the product works gently, it can still cause unpredictable bowel movements.
Benefits Compared to Dulcolax and Other Laxative Products
The Magic Bullet offers a range of benefits that make it a superior option to other constipation treatments for many individuals. For example:
Water-Soluble Base
The Magic Bullet has a polyethylene glycol base that is water-soluble. Traditionally, suppositories have a cocoa butter base. The benefit of the water-soluble base is that it dissolves rapidly, even in individuals with lower body temperatures due to illness, age, or mobility limitations. Fat-based formulas, such as cocoa butter, take longer to melt and, in some cases, may never completely melt, leaving behind a greasy, difficult-to-clean residue and potentially causing leakage or discomfort.
Consistent Results
Many people choose The Magic Bullet because it offers consistent results, even in people with neurological issues such as spinal cord injuries or multiple sclerosis. This makes it easier to schedule bowel movements and simplifies care and cleanup for both the user and caregivers.
Safe for Long-Term Use
Most suppositories are temporary solutions that should only be used once or twice before addressing the root cause of the problem.
Although doctors don’t recommend that the average user rely on a suppository for long-term use, The Magic Bullet is safe for people who have a chronic condition that puts them at risk of constipation. No laxative or suppository should be used indefinitely, but The Magic Bullet is considered a safer long-term option when used under medical supervision.
Easy to Use
The Magic Bullet is one of the easiest products to use for constipation relief. It’s also easy to store, so you don’t need to worry about it melting before you’re ready to use it, unlike cocoa butter-based products.
How Long Does The Magic Bullet Take to Work?
The Magic Bullet can work within 15 minutes after insertion and almost always works within an hour.
Other suppositories take at least 30 minutes and can take more than an hour to be effective. While this might not seem like a significant difference, it can be problematic in caregiving or rehabilitation environments when bowel movements need to be somewhat predictable.
Are There Any Risks?
The Magic Bullet is considered a safe suppository and laxative product. However, like all medical products, there are some risks, including:
- Rectal irritation or burning
- Cramping
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Electrolyte imbalance if used long-term
- Dependency with overuse
- Rectal bleeding (rare but severe)
- Not suitable for people with certain gastrointestinal conditions, including IBS
- The Magic Bullet must be used rectally and is not safe if swallowed.
