Fleet Mineral Oil, Oral Liquid Laxative, Constipation Relief for Adults, Vanilla Flavored, 16 Fl Oz

Very greatful to our pharmacist for telling me this Fleets product replaced the Kondremul that had disappeared from the market for months. We have used Kondremul in our home for 30 years. This Fleets product has worked the same with no complaints. Kondremul was suggested by the University of Michigan pediatric Gastroenterology clinic as an amazing non chemical solution to a medical condition. I have kept a bottle on hand all these years. This Fleets product is the same formulation. Just a pro child tip here. You can add this to any drink to cover the taste if it is unpleasant. Adding to small amount of chocolate milk or juice always worked in our house. Please shake very well each time to mix the bottle. Happy flushing!

Well, I was actually quite surprised that this tasted so good! Having tried “drinkable” laxatives before that were still pretty ugh, I wasn’t expecting much, so I really was pleasantly surprised! And it works, too! And no cramping at all! You’ll have to experiment with which dose is right for you (between 1 to 3 tablespoons a day), but this is now my, no pun intended, go to laxative of choice, versus those nasty pills.

One of the boys is prone to constipation, so we try to keep something on hand for any events where extra fiber and hydration are not helping. This gets the job done within hours - there isn't a huge difference between it and other mineral oil laxatives we have tried. The taste needs some work. The vanilla flavoring was a good attempt, but he doesn't care for the aftertaste at all, so I meet some resistance getting him to take it when we reach the point he needs an assist. We'll keep the current bottle around because it is as effective as anything else in this range of laxatives that we have tried. But it didn't quite reach "must have go-to" status.

This stuff is amazing. My son has cerebral palsy and used Kondremul for 25 years. Suddenly I could not find it anywhere. Looking at the reviews on Amazon for Kondremul, I found a review that stated Fleet was making whipped mineral oil and that it had the same ingredients. I was so thankful that Amazon carried it. My son has to take it every day or we have serious problems. Now the Fleet version is unavailable. I have enough for a couple of months. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now. I will try to contact Fleet directly, but I've Googled and see nothing. So upsetting.

It wasnt what I was expecting. I am nit sure if it worked as well. I tried it once.
