A member asked:
Is it true that the more laxatives you take, the faster they work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In a way: The more you take, the more effect youll get. you may get a "faster" response but it will be a stronger response and probably more than you want. Take the recommended dose and talk to your doctor if it doesnt help.
