Is there a maximum time that a 10 month old baby can be given Lax-A-Day?

Question

Hello, baby was constipated so we gave lax-a-day on the recommendation of his IPS. As soon as we stop giving it, he gets constipated again. Hello! Baby is 10 months old, no other medication and we have tried to increase the amount of water and give prunes every day.

Thank you for your question! In order to better understand the situation, would it be possible to provide the following information: How old is your baby? Is he/she receiving any other medications? What other measures have been tried (hydration, fiber, etc.)? Thank you for your time! Thanks for the feedback! Continue to encourage him to drink plenty, but I suggest varying the foods and focusing on increasing fiber intake through various fruits & veggies and whole grains. You can give the Lax-A-Day for as long as he needs it, and when the situation resolves I suggest trying to decrease the amount (by half for example). Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
