What to do to relieve constipation?

Hello, I suffer from constipation. Emolax taken 5 days later does not work. I don't feel any pain but I would like to be relieved of this situation which comes back periodically? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your question!
Does the Emolax work a little, or just not at all?

A little...I've taken it 6 days in a row now

Thank you for the clarification!
If you have noticed a partial effectiveness of the product, we can suggest doubling the dose, i.e. taking it twice a day instead of once, this remains safe
Otherwise, other options are available in pharmacies, your pharmacist will be able to suggest a product according to your preferences.
In the meantime, as a preventive measure, it would also be a good idea to increase your fiber intake, such as in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, oatmeal, etc., and to drink plenty of fluids during the day to help soften the stool.
I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
