Hello lybrate-user. It's not cumpolsary that purgative create deficiency. Our diet digest, become stool & clear, due to intestine movement. Long time use of purgative can decrease self movement. Also they don't let diet fully digest. So any deficiency can occur! you can use haritaki or triphala on daily basis.
