Fiber-Lax Fiber Laxative Tablets

Fiber-Lax delivers dependable relief for occasional constipation through calcium polycarbophil, a bulk-forming fiber that works with your body's natural process rather than forcing it. Each 500 mg tablet draws water into the stool to create softer, bulkier, easier-to-pass movements—making it a gentle choice for people who want regularity without the cramping or urgency associated with stimulant laxatives.

The product we carry, Fiber-Lax Laxative, Calcium Polycarbophil, 500 mg Tablets, is a common therapeutic equivalent to Konsyl-style fiber caplets. Because it's a non-fermenting synthetic fiber, calcium polycarbophil tends to produce less gas and bloating than psyllium-based products, which is why many patients with sensitive digestion prefer it. It's typically taken with a full glass of water—an essential step, since bulk-forming fibers need adequate fluid to work safely and comfortably.

Fiber-Lax is often used to help maintain regularity, support fiber intake in low-fiber diets, and manage constipation associated with irritable bowel syndrome or other conditions when recommended by a clinician. Long-term care facilities, pharmacies, and home caregivers stock it as a reliable daily option that doesn't create dependency the way stimulant laxatives can.

If you're comparing fiber options, it helps to know how the alternatives differ. Psyllium-based products like Fiber Therapy offer soluble fiber that also supports cholesterol management, while Nutrisource Fiber provides a tasteless, mixable powder ideal for tube feeding and thickening applications. For faster, short-term relief needs, our Ex-Lax collection offers stimulant-based options. Matching the fiber or laxative type to the patient's tolerance and goals is the key to comfortable, consistent results.
