What does it do?

D-Sorbitol solution 70% is a substance from the sugar alcohol group, primarily used as a laxative. It is included in medications with the purpose of drawing water into the intestines to soften stools and assist with bowel movements.

This ingredient remains in the intestines without being absorbed, drawing in water. As a result, stools become softer and intestinal motility is promoted, facilitating smooth bowel movements.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other laxatives, D-Sorbitol is an osmotic laxative that increases water in the intestines. It tends to have relatively fewer side effects such as diarrhea or abdominal pain, and is frequently used in formulations for children.
