A Ready-to-Drink Saline Laxative for Occasional Constipation
Saline laxatives draw water into the bowel to move occasional constipation on a same-day timeline. This oral solution arrives ready to drink, with no powder to mix and no measuring beyond the labeled dose range. Adults and children 12 years and over take 6.5 to 10 fl oz in 24 hours, as a single daily dose or in divided doses, with a full glass of liquid at each dose. The formula is non-carbonated and non-pasteurized, sweetened with sucralose. Bowel preparation protocols and home care both draw on this standard 10 oz bottle format.
