The laxative market is a subset of the gastrointestinal drugs market, which includes medications used to treat conditions of the digestive system. Laxatives are used to treat constipation, a condition in which the bowels do not move regularly or cannot be emptied completely. Laxatives are available in a variety of forms, including oral tablets, liquids, and suppositories. They work by increasing the amount of water in the intestines, which helps to soften the stool and make it easier to pass. The laxative market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering products. Some of the major players in the market include GlaxoSmithKline, Bayer, Pfizer, Novartis, and Sanofi. Other companies include Mylan, Sun Pharmaceuticals, and Perrigo. Show Less Read more
