What is it called.? The short answer is No, you should not become dependant on it.

also, it is probably not a "laxative" but more of a "stool softener" or something similar. It could be a laxative I suppose, but it won't be like Ex-Lax (hard on your stomach)

Short answer: No you won't be dependant on it, it should be for temporary relief.Health Question & Answer

a prescribed laxative.? dang, just some warmed prune juice will unlock those bowels. oh well, and since it's prescribed it probably can become more dependent than OTC versions.

since you're asking in the alternative meds section, here are some other alternative products - senns, casagra segredgra (sp.?), aloe vera gel juice.
