Hello
Thank for choosing HCM
If it is the constipation and does not have any pathology then taking Dulcolex is not advisable even not other laxative is advisable instead constipation can be managed with fiber containing diet and lot of drinking water, at the most stool softener can be tried like Isabgol, but better to avoid taking purgative or laxative, hope this information helps.
