A member asked:
How come the laxative didn't soften my stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They don't...: Laxitives don't soften stools, they promote movement of the bowels. If you are having hard stools, you likely need to drink more fluids, eat more fiber, and take a stool softener like senna or docusate. These are available otc.
