Fleet Phospho soda:
As a laxative, for relief of occasional constipation. As a purgative, for use as part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination. Generally produces in bowel movement in 30 minutes to 6 hours. When taken as directed, laxative action is gentle, virtually free from the likelihood of gastrointestinal discomfort or irritation, and is safe for the age groups indicated.
For best results, take on an empty stomach: upon rising, at least 30 minutes before a meal, or at bedtime for overnight action. Dilute recommended dosage with 1/2 glass (4 fl oz) cool water.
