Question: I took an oral solution (laxative).. I took half the dosage which was 5 oz of a 10 oz bottle.. Nothing happened.?
It says it could go into affect within 1/2 hr to 6 hours.. You can take the whole dosage (10oz) in one sitting or in small doses throughout the day.. I took half the bottle (about 5 to 6 oz).. That was last night! Nothing happened at all.. Is that normal.? Should I be concerned.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
If the directions call for a specific amount and you took half the dosage, then nothing may be apparent.. The dosage is geared to produce a particular response.. Ergo, you didn't take enough for the medication to be effective..You need to eat a fiber type cereal, or other food product on a regular basis or your body bulks up and food is retained in the body in a more solid grouping.. If you experience lower abdominal pain or discomfort, and over the counter products do not work, then there could be a more serious problem.. If concerned, see your doctor and he will provide the relief you need..Some commercial products are useless..Health Question & Answer

I would drink several glasses of water as that's important for movement and intestine lubrication.. Call a doc to be safe.. They will talk to you for free and if they don't call emergency room directly{Not 911} and they should tell you over the phone if you need to get checked out..Health Question & Answer
