Dear lybrate-user though it is possible to have hypocalcemia with some laxatives, it is rare and occurs only in excessive doses consumed for a prolonged period, or in people who already have some disorder in processing calcium in the body. If someone you know has hypocalcemia, please consult a doctor immediately as it can be a serious condition. Take care.
