Over-the-counter laxative medication represents one of the largest markets for consumer medication in the United States. A few of these medications contain natural products but a large number have chemicals as active ingredients. In 1996 the FDA asked many companies to contact safety studies to find out whether these ingredients were a danger to humans after the same agency discovered troubling side effects in animals.
