Advantages: advantages don't outweigh the risks

Disadvantages: BURNS!!

What Ex-Lax is NOT telling you: In 1999, they changed the main ingredient to senna because the old main ingredient caused cancer. However, this new senna causes severe chemical burns. And because of this "great chocolate flavor" children are very attracted to Ex-Lax. My 1 year-old son got a hold of my Ex-Lax, ate 3 or 4 pieces. I figured I would have to let nature run it's course(as what Poison Control also told me), however, after I put him to bed he had a bowel movement during the night(he was still in a diaper) and when I went to change him he had severe blisters and sloughing of his skin where the stool had laid on his butt. The chemical senna in the Ex-lax caused severe burns to his butt and he had to be admitted to the burn center at the hospital and was diagnosed with 1st and 2nd degree burns. This usually doesn't happen to adults because they wipe after using the bathroom. But most people think Ex-Lax is so safe. It's extremely DANGEROUS! Parents-BE AWARE-EX-LAX is very dangerous and as you already know children are very attracted to chocolate of any kind! Don't buy Ex-Lax and if you do lock it up!! But also for everyone else just imagine what this chemical is doing to the inside of your stomach, intestines and colon(burning it like pure acid)and may be even worse. The Novartis Company is well-aware of this reaction and still will not label this reaction on their box or warning. Novartis Company has admitted of reports of many other similar incidents, but still will not give a warning-you will not find this side effect anywhere on their website either. They do not want their product off the market. Money is the root of all evil. Why would anyone trust this brand?

Summary: What Ex-Lax is not telling anyone!! And they claim on their box that you can trust in them!
