COMBINATION OSMOTIC AND BULK FORMING LAXATIVES

摘要

A combination bulk-forming and osmotic laxative is provided by combining a bulk-forming laxative in the form of psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid with an osmotic laxative such as lactitol. The addition of the osmotic laxative to the bulk-forming laxative with a binder solution and subsequent drying produces an improved laxative in granulate form which is directly compressible into tablets.
