Is laxative use habit-forming?

0

No, but as explained above long term use can make the bowel less sensitive to laxatives. Some doctors believe that the longer you take laxatives the less likely your bowel is to work well on its own. Hence when you stop taking laxatives after long term use you should do so gradually to give your bowel time to adjust.
