Yes, used sparingly.: used only on occasions, Exlax can be used safely by senior citizens. A better plan is to increase the amount of fiber in the diet, and perhaps even to use fiber supplements on a daily basis, if necessary. In addition, increasing the amount of fluid intake is important. if there are still problems with constipation after doing the above, then Ex-Lax, used rarely, is acceptable. Good luck.
