Dual-Action Relief: Softens Stool and Gently Stimulates for Comfortable Results

This combination works by both increasing the water content in hard, dry stools and gently encouraging intestinal movement, typically resulting in a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours. This 1000-count bulk bottle offers exceptional value for long-term management or household supply.

Yes, the tablets are identical in strength and formulation. This 1000-count bottle is simply a bulk value size for those who require a long-term supply.
How should I store this bulk bottle?
Store at a controlled room temperature of 20°–25°C (68°–77°F) in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the tablets.
