Osmotic / stimulant laxative combinations are used for colon cleanses and to treat constipation. They work by increasing the amount of water in the intestine and stimulating the bowel for easier stool passing.
Why are osmotic stimulant laxative combinations prescribed?
Osmotic / stimulant laxative combinations are used to prepare the bowel for a colonoscopy. They work by drawing water into the bowel to soften stools and stimulating bowel movements to help you pass stool more easily. They come available as oral solutions. One example of this combination is sodium picosulfate / magnesium oxide / citric acid (Clenpiq).
