The note about laxatives being sold to women omits the fact it is not unusual for a woman to get constipated prior to getting her period, and it is also not unusal for a woman to have the opposite problem during her period.

Under which of these categories does prune juice fall? -69.249.40.134 23:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] is it bad to prank someone with laxatives??
i want to get back at a girl for being a bitch at our party. can putting laxatives in her drink have permanent effects? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.81.193.91 (talk) 19:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC).
Not really, but it may be possible that she is allergic. And all that would really happen is she would have soft stool in 6 hours, unless you want to try giving her a suppository. I suggest ipecac. --Bjmp11 07:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

- Talk pages are supposed to be used solely for discussion on the improvement of the article, not to plot pranks on some chick who you're probably only calling a bitch because she wouldn't put out or something. 58.165.243.159 05:37, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it is bad. They could be injured. They could be poisoned. You could end up in trouble. You could end up in jail. Think about how you would feel, if you found out someone tricked you into eating something bad, on purpose!-69.87.200.164 16:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Prune
Why do prunes have laxative qualities? Chris 04:05, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Define subject please
Can someone please define the subject in the first line? Now it just says what laxatives are used for, not what a laxative actually is. Not everyone knows what it means, particularly non-native speakers. Jens Nielsen 13:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Laxatives are foods, compounds, or drugs taken to induce bowel movements, most often taken to treat constipation.-69.87.200.164 16:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
