How Lax-A-Day Relieves Constipation
Understanding Occasional Constipation
Occasional constipation can be an uncomfortable issue. It can be caused by various factors such as a change in diet, lack of physical activity, dehydration, or certain medications. The goal of a laxative is to soften the stool, making bowel movements easier and more frequent.
How Lax-A-Day Works
Lax-A-Day contains the active ingredient polyethylene glycol 3350. This works by attracting water into the bowel. This increased water content softens the stool, making it easier to pass, and stimulates bowel movements.
- Osmotic Action: It's an osmotic laxative, meaning it draws water into the colon.
- Gentle Relief: Designed to provide relief from occasional constipation without causing sudden urgency or cramping.
