Hello. Have you tried other products? Are you taking any other medications? Hello. I could suggest that you take PEG-3350, which is marketed under several brand names: Lax-A-Day, Restoralax, Pegalax, etc. It is a powder that can be mixed in a small amount of liquid (water, juice, soup, tea, etc.) and taken once a day. It is a powder that can be mixed in a small amount of liquid (water, juice, soup, tea, etc.) and taken once a day. It does not taste like anything. I invite you to consult your pharmacist who will suggest the product according to his inventory and will show you how to measure the quantity to dilute (usually in a bag or with a marker in the cap). Also, for prevention, I encourage you to hydrate a lot to help soften the stool, and possibly increase the amount of fiber in your diet: whole grains, fruits and vegetables for example Being active and playing sports reduces the risk of constipation. I also suggest that you keep a regular schedule for going to the bathroom: as soon as you feel the need, don't wait. I remain available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
