🩺 Clinical
This is an over-the-counter laxative tablet containing calcium polycarbophil. Calcium polycarbophil is a bulk-forming fiber that is typically used to relieve occasional constipation by absorbing water in the intestines and promoting bowel movements. This product is marketed under the FDA's over-the-counter monograph rules for laxatives rather than as an individually approved drug application. It is taken by mouth in tablet form.
