Most laxatives do work, but only to some extent. Usually, they help the body release stored waste and water. The weight lost is not actual weight. Also, laxatives can be very dangerous. They can cause permanent damage and even death. They should only be used in dire cases, and even then only all-natural laxatives should be used.
Do laxative pills work the same as liquid laxatives?
yes, they both work as the same. I take either one and they both do the job for me. It can depend on which "laxative" you are taking though.

I believe they are meant to be taken after you eat, but I'm no expert on the subject.
