Suppository base material vs effect?

I was wondering if any of y’all have experienced first hand if there is a difference between the normal bisacodyl supps you can easily find now and the famed Magic Bullet ones? Supposedly, the only difference between them is that the Magic Bullet ones use polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the compounding base whereas the mundane ones use wax and vegetable oil for the base. Supposedly it is supposed to make a world of difference and it surely does in the price commanded by the fancy ones.

You are correct the magic bullet is designed to reduce bowel care time , not using an oil base reduces the time between insertion Where the oil base needs to melt to disperse the bisacodyl in your rectum to begin stimulating .

Without the oil the PEG base needs a couple of minutes to dissolve and disperse thusly within minutes of insertion it’s started stimulating . Some people find from insertion to effective bowel movement can be 15 minutes from start to finish , definitely a time saver. For disabled patients who may be suppository trained that gives you an extra hour a day to do fun stuff.

Places like Allegro medical has best if used by magic bullet sales that are sometimes half of normal retail.

If you happen to be budget minded you can take 2 of the 5 mg tablets put them thru a pill crusher add a little water and baking soda to neutralize the stomach safe coating , put a large pot of water on stove , put a bowel in it pour in Mirilax or generic equivalent no water keep stirring until it melts add you crushed tablets mix thoroughly , pour the mixture into a vinyl glove inverted on glass pour into finger ,pop in fridge to harden . You have now made your own magic bullet . Any normal bisacodyl suppository is 10 mg dose and normally the tablets are 5 mg each , the cathartic dose in suppository is 20 mg . 20 mg retained long enough will empty most of your colon not just the stool in your rectum .

No need for the toil and trouble of making your own with crushed bisacodyl pills! I just so happened to run across some NOT the name brand Magic Bullets on Amazon of all places that compounds them using the same PEG based formula. The company is called Concepts in Confidence and they’re asking like $9 for 10 supps (2 strips of 5). I rolled the dice already and uh….. yeah the base makes a huge difference. I’ve tried several times now (spaced out w several days in between) and I have yet to be able to pass the 5min mark between the time of launch and having to hit the ejection button. No, I don’t think there is anything wrong or off with them. They are just working as advertised.
