Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

Yes, you can take milk of magnesia with steroids. There are known interactions or unexpected side effects. In addition, diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fibers as well as increased fluids and regular exercise would be very helpful with the constipation.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
