Generally, stools are not accumulated. Yes, such laxative creates a situation like loose motion. This laxative can be used as a first line of treatment in acute constipation and mild to moderate constipation. If it is a Chronic constipation, then it can also be used for initial 5 to 7 days. But I would not recommend the long-term use.
