For what purpose are laxatives and stool softeners commonly prescribed?

  1. To relieve inflammation

  2. To regulate blood sugar levels

  3. To prevent large intestine water absorption

  4. To treat fungal infections

The correct answer is: To prevent large intestine water absorption

Laxatives and stool softeners are commonly prescribed to prevent large intestine water absorption. These medications work by increasing the water content in the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. This helps to relieve constipation and promote regular bowel movements. It is important to note that they are not typically prescribed for relieving inflammation, regulating blood sugar levels, or treating fungal infections.
