Hello Mrs.! Is it possible to know which laxative you have tried?
26-year-old woman · 3 years ago
From the relaxa

Thank you for the information
Relaxa at 17 grams per day should be quite effective. If not, you can double the dose to 17 grams twice a day to help decompact
For your diet, encourage lots of fiber such as fruits and vegetables, whole wheat products, and continue to stay hydrated
I hope I have been of some help to you, and remain available if you have any further questions

I have a question, what are the foods that are rich in fiber? Because I eat almost no fruit and few vegetables... because I think my constipation is related to my lack of fiber... what are these foods?

Unpeeled fruits and vegetables are the greatest source of fibre, as well as whole grains (whole grain bread, brown rice for example) and legumes
Otherwise, there is the Metamucil fiber supplement that can be taken in a large glass of liquid every day or according to the consistency of the stool.
The most important thing to do to soften the stool in synergy with the fiber is to stay well hydrated.

Is it possible to get a prescription for it?
Naji-tom Samaha · 3 years ago
It is a product that does not require a prescription, it is available over the counter. Sorry I should have mentioned this earlier!

It's okay but if I have any other questions please write to me
