I have been taking Ducolax and Metamucil every day for a year, can it become addictive? Should I take a break?

Hello Ma'am,
Theoretically, there is no risk of addiction with these medications. That said, it might be tempting to at least try lowering the dose of Dulcolax™ for a few days to see how your body responds.
Also, have you ever used Lax-A-Day™? I ask because there is much more information on its long-term safety.

Hello Mr. Chagnon,
Thank you for your reply, I'm going to take a break from the "Dulcolax" and I'm going to try the laxative "Lax-A-Day".

Super. What you can do is suspend the Dulcolax™ 2 days after initiating Lax-A-Day™, to avoid rebound constipation (the latter takes about 2 days to take effect).
Happy day,
Alexandre
