Geri-Care Diuretic Laxative Liquid – 70% Sorbitol Solution (16 oz)

What It Is

• Geri-Care Diuretic Laxative is a ready-to-use liquid solution that leverages 70% USP-grade sorbitol as its active ingredient. Designed for use as a laxative (rectal enema), this product helps relieve occasional constipation and intestinal irregularity.

What It Does

• Relieves occasional constipation — Sorbitol works as an osmotic laxative: it draws water into the large intestine, softening stool and making it easier to pass.
• Fast-acting when used rectally — When administered as an enema (properly diluted per instructions), it generally produces a bowel movement within about 25 minutes to 1 hour.
• Non-stimulating, gentle action — Because it works by gently increasing water content rather than stimulating the colon, it's generally easier and more comfortable than harsh stimulant laxatives, reducing the risk of cramping or straining.
• Large-volume supply — The 16-ounce (473 mL) bottle offers multiple doses, making it convenient for occasional use when needed rather than constantly repurchasing small-dose products.

Who It’s For

• This laxative is suited for people who:
• Want a reliable, fast-acting solution for occasional constipation.
• Prefer a non-stimulant, gentler option compared with stimulant laxatives — suitable for older adults or those sensitive to harsh laxatives.
• May need occasional relief due to temporary conditions: travel, changes in diet, inactivity, or post-surgical recovery.
• Appreciate a liquid enema format for times when oral laxatives are ineffective or impractical.

Important Notes & Considerations

• For rectal use only. Improper use (such as oral ingestion when not indicated) can lead to adverse effects.
• Use only as directed. Do not exceed recommended dosage or use for more than a short period unless advised by a doctor.
• Common side effects may include abdominal cramping, gas, diarrhea, nausea, or mild discomfort.
• Avoid use if you have certain conditions (e.g., undiagnosed abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, severe renal issues, or intolerance to sorbitol).
• Because this is a strong osmotic agent, it can cause fluid and electrolyte imbalance — it’s important to stay well-hydrated and avoid frequent, repeated use.
