Why LAXATIVES Work — and When They Backfire

About this video

Laxatives work — until the bowel adapts or fluid/electrolyte balance takes the hit. Different classes fail in different ways: stimulant dependence myths vs real rebound, osmotic load, and the difference between occasional use and a daily habit. This is the "when they backfire" cut of the story, still mechanism-first. Not medical advice. #laxatives #gut #pharmacology
