Laxative Pills
Relieve constipation and aid your digestive function with CVS Pharmacy's range of laxative pills. Laxatives work quickly to help you achieve a bowel movement, leaving you feeling more comfortable and ready to take on the day. With many types to choose from, you're sure to find a gentle solution that meets your needs.
Which Laxative Capsule Is Most Effective?
Constipation can have many causes, and laxative capsules work best when you take the right type to treat your condition. If you haven't experienced a bowel movement for a while, and things don't seem to be moving through your digestive system, a stimulant laxative may be the best solution. When taken at bedtime, products such as Dulcolax and CVS Health Senna help stimulate movement in your intestines, speeding up transit time to encourage a bowel movement in the morning.
Stool softeners are another option for managing constipation and potentially the best laxative pill to use if your stool is hard and difficult to pass. These medications work by drawing more water into your intestines and softening stools to help relieve straining and keep you regular. Unlike stimulant laxatives, which you should only use occasionally, many of these medications are often suitable for daily or long-term treatment, but ask your doctor first.
Fiber or prune-based products, such as Prunelax, are typically the gentlest type of laxative, and some products are even suitable for use in kids. These products may work well if you consume a low-residue diet or don't get much fiber from your foods, as they help add bulk to aid passage through your digestive system.
How Many Laxative Pills Can You Take at Once?
Always take laxative pills according to package dosing instructions or specific recommendations from a medical professional. While it might be tempting to take more tablets to experience quicker relief, doing so isn't likely to improve the effects and may increase the risk of side effects, such as diarrhea. Taking daily probiotics for constipation relief may be a better option.
In some cases, it may be okay to take different types of laxatives, such as a stimulant-based product and a stool softener, together. Your doctor may recommend doing this if you take medications or have a health condition that slows intestinal movement.
Are Laxative Pills Safe to Take While Pregnant?
If you're pregnant or trying for a baby, it's best to consult your primary care physician before taking a laxative, as some medications may be harmful. Your doctor can recommend suitable prenatal supplements, including gentle laxatives, that relieve constipation without impacting your pregnancy.
