Can I use Laxaday in addition to Docusate sodium morning/evening and Pegalax?

I am 8 weeks pregnant and 5 days out of 7 I have constipation. I use Pegalax occasionally to help, but it doesn't always work.

Hello,
Pegalax and lax-a-day are two brands with the same active ingredient, PEG3350. Therefore, you should use one of them. This medication is recommended during pregnancy, but it may take 3-4 days before it takes effect. So, I would recommend you to take it regularly to have its optimal effect. Also, you need to drink a lot of water for the medicine to work. Besides, apple juice and pear juice have a laxative effect
If, in spite of regular use of Pegalax or Lax-a-day, this is not enough, I recommend that you consult your pharmacist who can suggest other options
