Why it is Prescribed
Stimulant laxatives are used to treat constipation or before rectal or bowel examinations or surgery. They work by increasing the movement in your bowel. They also are used to treat certain conditions of the intestinal tract. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How it Works
Stimulant laxatives come in many different forms, including liquids, powders, granules, tablets, and suppositories.

Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
