Although ex-lax is available in the U.S as well and has been for at least 100 years, I do not know if what was available in CZ, which Cornel refers to as "the stuff", is in fact the ex-lax or if it was a different brand name, such as the Koprol shown in the photo that Hardy Breier posted. Though ex-lax is advertised as gentle, I can assure you it is not, nor is it controllable. For our elderly members, stick with Prune Juice!!
Bruce, please do not reject this post as off-topic since you have already allowed both Hardy's and Cornel's postings on this subject.
