Dispensary Formulary for Laxatives

By Dr Philip Koopowitz – Dispex & Hexagon6

When was the last time you considered your Dispensary Formulary for Laxatives? You may be

The main General Practice prescribed Laxatives can be divided into:

Bulk-forming Laxatives  

Stimulant Laxatives

Faecal Softeners

Osmotic Laxatives

and as such, different laxatives may be more appropriate for different patients.
