Evac Q Mag
Evac Q Mag is a combination laxative containing Liquid Paraffin (a lubricant/stool softener), Magnesium Hydroxide (an osmotic laxative), and Sodium Picosulfate (a stimulant laxative). Together, they promote bowel movements by retaining water in the intestines, lubricating the stool for easier passage, and stimulating the physiological contractions of the colon.
