Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Though constipation is a know side effect of the drug, increase frequency of passing urine and motion is not a feature. Nevertheless it is better to discuss with the treating doctor.

Kindly confirm if your son or anyone else in the family has diabetes mellitus as care needs to be taken in this situation with the drug.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son all the best.

Regards,

RKK
