What Do Frequent Passing Stools Post Taking Generic Dulcolax Suggest?

So yesterday I took 2 5mg genneric dulcolax around 6 pm. Today at 11 am I finally went to the bathroom and a little more within 30 minutes. Later around 11 pm I felt the urge but I only did what appeared like thin light brown tissue or mucous. I do suffer from constipation and have hemorrhoids.

Dear patient
Dulcolax is recommended for treatment of constipation. It acts on enteric mucosa by irritating it and leads to diarrhea. It's effects lasts for 24 hours. Side effects may be excessive diarrhea. Mucosal damage may lead to brownish or blood stained stool. Drink lots of fluids with saline.
