Don't use visine as a laxative!

A few comedies ( I believe wedding crashers) show a character putting a few drops of visine in someones drink to give them severe diarrhea.  I had wondered at one point, if that works so well, why isn't it prescribed for constipation, or as a prep?  Up until recently I hadn't found my answer.  Even though I am a D gal instead of a C gal I had wondered if a drop or two could help you constipated crohnies.  And then I found this article.

It actually doesn't cause diarrhea and is VERY DANGEROUS to ingest.  I can't help but think it is irresponsible of movies to show it being used in this way if it is not how it works and so dangerous if attempted.

So, point being, no matter how bad you want to poop, don't drink your visine.

yikes, that is scary! karen

Dont use Preparation -H in your eyes either. May cause narrow vision, or just a $#!++ outlook on life. In this case some of these people need some psychiatric help. They are not seeing life too clearly.

I just thought that Visine used in the wrong way would give you Opticalrectumitis, ( a ,,s ,,ahhmmm ,,crappy outlook on life )..
