What Are The Adverse Effects Of Laxative Overdose?
Question: What happens if you take too much laxative? And if you mix different types? For ex, yesterday took 2 colace, 1 ex lax and mirlax. Today i took 1 exlax so far
Hello. I just read through your question.
The worst that happens is you go to the bathroom more frequently. On occasion, this can cause some mild abdominal cramps. Outside of there, there is little to be concerned about.
