Kondremul Mineral Oil Laxative

Kondremul is a mineral oil–based lubricant laxative used for the gentle relief of occasional constipation. Unlike stimulant laxatives that force the bowel to contract, mineral oil works by coating the stool and intestinal lining, helping to soften stool and ease its passage without cramping. That makes it a familiar choice for people who need predictable, low-irritation relief.

The Kondremul Laxative (NDC 63736001210) delivers mineral oil in an emulsified form, which is generally more palatable and easier to take than plain mineral oil. It's often used by adults managing periodic constipation and by those advised to avoid straining.

A few practical points buyers commonly ask about: mineral oil laxatives are intended for short-term, occasional use rather than daily long-term management, since prolonged use can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Take it on an empty stomach when possible and separate the dose from meals and other medications by a couple of hours. It's best taken during the day rather than at bedtime to reduce the risk of aspiration. Anyone who is pregnant, bedbound, has difficulty swallowing, or is caring for a young child or older adult should check with a physician or pharmacist before use.

Kondremul is a self-care option for mild, infrequent constipation. If symptoms persist beyond a week, or if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, or a sudden change in bowel habits, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
