Laxmar is a bulk-forming fiber laxative. This medicine works by absorbing liquid and swelling in the intestines to create a softer, bulky stool that is easier to pass.

Laxmar is used to treat occasional constipation or bowel irregularity. This medicine may also help lower cholesterol when used together with a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fat.

Laxmar may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
