What age do you have to be to buy laxatives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laxatives: Laxatives can often be purchased OTC and I do not believe that individuals are carded for this. However, because laxatives can be abused by those with eating disorders - recommend that parents are mindful of purchases by their minors.
