Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Lubowel 24 is a laxative Containing lubiprostone and usually given as twice daily dosage for constipation.
However it's known to cause diarrhoea as a sideeffect . In your case since you are having loose stools you should stop the laxative as of now and you should ask your doctor for an alternative in case you suffer from constipation in future.
Meanwhile you should drink plenty of water and have a fibre XXXXXXX diet to prevent constipation .
Also make sure if any medication you are taking is causing an iatrogenic constipation and do discuss it with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query.
I'll be available for any follow up queries.
Regards
