What Are The Suggestions To Cure Constipation?
Hi, I just began taking Norco last night for back pain and plan on taking it only at night to sleep. I am having trouble with constipation. Took some laxatives last Sat. and they worked, but have not been able to have a bm since. Have been eating prunes at every meal. Any suggestions

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
For good bowel movements you need to drink lot of fluids and take fiber diet ( lot of vegetables and fruits). You can take fiber supplements like metamucil.
If the response is not good you can take miralax.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar
