Question: What is a good medicine for constipation? Thanks!

Answer: A good medicine for constipation will depend on what type of symptoms you are having and how long you have been constipated.

If it has only been a day or two since your last bowel movement you should just try to increase the fiber in your diet and see if that helps. A short walk after meals will also be effective as it will get the digestive juices going.

If you have been constipated for longer than that you may want to consider an enema or laxative medication. Both of these methods are useful in promoting a bowel movement if you are uncomfortable and are good short term solutions, but be sure not to overuse either method.

You should also consider an herbal supplement to cleanse the colon and help to prevent future bouts of constipation. These are available online and have proven to be very helpful in not only promoting regular bowel movements, but in improving overall health.

We hope that you are able to find a good medicine for constipation. If you need further assistance please feel free to ask us any other questions you may have.
