I found these through a web search and the Pedia-lax website (there's a coupon there). My 7 year old was having a problem with constipation, and these seemed to do the trick. He ate 2 one night...and then another 1 in the morning before finding relief. Loved the taste--no problems there.

They can be hard to find in the store (I asked the pharmacist and he didn't even know that they carried them)--so I recommend Amazon. A lot easier. :)

I use this for both my 4 and 6 year old. It works effectively but gently for both the prevention and treatment of constipation. They just think they are taking a vitamin...and it takes good!

Our 3yo twins alternate who has problems with pooping. Our pediatrician has recommended powedered laxative in their fluids (usually milk) which is helpful. The best tool is the pediatric enema but it's hard to use (typically they don't want you sticking stuff 'in there'). These tablets are great because they're easy to take - we give them with their gummy vitamins and my daughter frequently asks for them if I forget. So far they've worked well in keeping things regular.
