Hi Susan, Laxido is a brand name of movicol (and there's lots of threads about movicol here). It does take a little while to work first of all, but when it does (assuming you take it every day) it will keep everything nice and soft.
I found taking 2 sachets a day (one morning and 1 night), and missing one every 5 days, kept everything right for me. You may have to adjust the dosage to suit you and your diet.
In the mean time, I'd recommend prune juice (if you can stomach it) to get things moving.
