Laxatives safe 2 use with left under rib pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on the type of laxative and reason for the pain. Sometimes left upper abdominal pain could be related to obstruction or inflammation of the bowels and certain laxatives might not be appropriate for use. You should be evaluated by your doctor.
