Exlax is a stimulant laxative containing senna, which comes from plant leaves. It is called a stimulant laxative because the senna stimulates the muscles of the bowel wall to increase contractions, and therefore move food faster through the colon.

The drug marketed under the name Exlax is now 'senna' (an herb that helps 'move the bowels') ... but originally Exlax was made from 'phenolthalien' ... and it is either in 'pill form' or 'chocolate flavored' like candy ... it 'changed' when phenolthalien was taken OFF the 'approved drugs' list ... now any 'laxative' you buy is made from SENNA.

It is a laxative. Some of it comes in pill form or a chocolate form. Some people have accidently taken the chocolate form. BEWARE
