Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would like to advise that you should not increase or decrease the dose of Libotryp DS by yourself. Seek your treating doctor's advise for that.

Every medicine has some or the other side effect and it is your treating doctor who is the best judge to decide whether benefits of any medicine outweighs its side effects.

For treating constipation, you should increase salad in your meals.
Fruits like guava and papaya are also beneficial.
Drink lot of water daily.

If the problem persists, you can take medicine like bulk forming agents/ prokinetics/ laxatives under medical supervision.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
