Hello

Thanks for asking query on HCM. Ofloxacin is unlikely to cause constipation. It would be fine if you take dulcolax only once for constipation in your situation - post eye surgery. If you still have constipation, then in needs evaluation and different treatment. Don't worry as post-surgical constipation is a simple and common problem. It will become better with treatment.

Take care.
