The doc didn't give me a prescription. I have to buy some things over
the counter at the drugstore. They said I could either drink a bottle
of magnesium citrate and take 4 Dulcolax tablets, or I can buy Fleets #1
(whatever it is) and just use that. I'll check them both out and then
decide. Thank for your help!
