A member asked:
Gavilyte-g everyday for severe constipation unrelieved by other laxatives?? is the sodium sulfate in this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually safe.: When used under medical supervision, there are generally not many severe side effects. The dosage for daily use is quite small. If your doctor recommended, it may be worth a try. Good luck.
