Laxatives have different modes of action. Two common ones that you can by over the counter are Magnesium Sulphate (Milk of Magnesia) and Senna.
* Milk of Magnesia-Known as an osmotic laxative, it draws water into your colon helping make your bowel movements more fluid and easier to pass. * Senna-Known as a stimulant laxative, causes your gut to become more motile, passing stool easier.
