| dc.description.abstract | Laxatives appear to be one of the most common group of drugs sold in retail pharmacy presently. Use of the drugs appears to be by all patients regardless of age, gender, race, education level and income group. Reasons for ingestion of laxatives also appear to vary among patients. This study investigate patients wishing to purchase laxatives from a suburban pharmacy in Johannesburg located near the inner-city. It clarified the patient's own perception of what constipation is, why he or she ingested this formulation and how long this product has been used. The study also reviews adverse effects that patients experienced using these products. | en_ZA |
