[[note]] This is also the reason that severe cases of fecal impaction are ''not'' treated first with oral stimulant laxatives - if the stool is too hard to be passed or the bowel is blocked by an immobile object or growth(s) as well as stool, the resulting pressure of intense contractions and gas buildup can lead to a ruptured bowel, and if the appendix is inflamed, to a RupturedAppendix. Therefore, the idea of the laxative prank as VisualPun and HoistByHisOwnPetard to someone "full of shit" is actually dangerously incorrect - someone literally impacted is treated by first ideally checking to make sure there's no foreign objects or growths involved, attempting to soften the matter in question using various means, occasionally [[{{squick}} physically pulling it out or surgery if softening treatments don't work]] and only then administering a stimulant laxative, or more commonly, a saline lavage laxative like Miralax or an enema - which has the effect of softening more - to get things moving out. If the stool is ''not'' softened or removed and is too hard, the laxative will either have no effect aside from cramping and gas, will be dangerous by causing gas buildup and intense contractions with no means of relief, or will result in [[AndIMustScream a difficult, painful, prolonged passage of dry, hard stool]] .[[/note]]

The victim could end up seriously ill, hospitalised or worse. Consequently, administering even such a seemingly-trivial pharmaceutical drug to someone without their knowledge is classified as a serious criminal offence in many jurisdictions-- the perpetrator of the prank could wind up in jail.

Note that this is decidedly ''not'' a clever or funny idea in RealLife. Laxatives, even over the counter ones, are pharmaceutical drugs. The recipient may be allergic to the drug in question (or one of the inactive ingredients in the pill) or may suffer an adverse reaction to the drug. If they are already taking medication laxatives might be contra-indicated and they could have a dangerous drug interaction in their body. If the person suffers from some conditions, laxatives (especially powerful stimulant types) can actually trigger appendicitis or ''entirely rupture someone's bowel'' and require major surgery, if not kill the person outright. (This is also the reason that severe cases of fecal impaction are ''not'' treated first with oral stimulant laxatives - if the stool is too hard to be passed or the bowel is blocked by an immobile object or growth(s) as well as stool, the resulting pressure of intense contractions and gas buildup can lead to a ruptured bowel, and if the appendix is inflamed, to a RupturedAppendix) The victim could end up seriously ill, hospitalised or worse. Consequently, administering even such a seemingly-trivial pharmaceutical drug to someone without their knowledge is classified as a serious criminal offence in many jurisdictions-- the perpetrator of the prank could wind up in jail.
