Not Medical Advice: Yes. Womens laxative contains the same efficacious, active ingredient bisacodyl. It is just formulated differently to the extent that their inactive ingredients are different.
Laxatives are medicines that induce bowel movements or soften or loosen up the stool. They may also be called cathartics or purgatives. They are used to treat constipation or to empty the bowel of fècal matter before colonoscopy or surgery.
Most laxatives work by either stimulating the bowel (stimulants), softening the stool (stool softeners), increasing the stool bulk or encouraging the stool to draw in more water (bulking agents), lubricating the stool to allow and easier passage out of the colon (lubricants), or by promoting the influx of water into the bowel (hyperosmotics).
