I have a toilet which drains out quite slowly and water rises to the brim when the flush is exercised.

I have already used the plunger multiple times to try to see if it makes a difference, but it has not helped much. The water level still takes about 30 minutes to go low after a flush. I am clueless at this point.

Is there anything else I can try? Is there a 'draino' equivalent for toilets?

I would use a toilet snake as @Wayfaring Stranger suggested. The home depot treatment you looked at is not a drain cleaner but a septic treatment. You might try warm water. When the water is low in the bowl (as in after plunging), slowly add a large pot of warm water to the bowl. Use warm water from the faucet not boiling water. Boiling water may crack the porcelain. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Plunge it again. then flush. The warm water may soften soap or grease that is in the trap.

Try substituting your plunger for a more powerful bellows plunger.
