A member asked:
What damage can taking correctol everyday cause ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic problem: Taking a laxative every day eventually causes the body to lose the natural urge to go to the bathroom and one can become dependent on the laxative. It can also potentially cause electrolyte imbalances that are not helpful.
