Among the drugs listed, "Pancreas capsules" is not a laxative. The other options—bisacodyl tablets, Senokot, and milk of magnesia—are laxatives:
- Bisacodyl tablets: These are stimulant laxatives that work by irritating the intestines, promoting bowel movements.
- Senokot: This is a brand name for a type of laxative containing a natural plant-derived ingredient called senna. Senna is known for its laxative effects.
- Milk of Magnesia: This is a magnesium-based laxative. It works by drawing water into the intestines, softening the stool and promoting bowel movements.
