Could The Movicol Contribute To Sore Stomach?
I take movicol once a day. I am on pregabalin and amatriptoline because i suffer from chronic pain. I previously took diclophenac, I had to stop because of the side effects on my stomach. I now take omeprazole for my stomach as I think I had/have a stomach ulcer. Could the movicol contribute to sore stomachs?

Hello,
Every drug has side effects but it doesn't effect every one. Movicol is quiet safe to be used and it does not cause stomach ache or ulcers. My advice to you will be to try other organic methods of relieving this chronic constipation by increasing fiber diet and liquid in your diet and by doing some regular exercise. It seems to be secondary to pregabalin. Try to find out the cause of this chronic pain for which you need to take amitriptyline and pregabalin. Once the root cause is removed you will not need any of these drugs and you will be free of their side effects too.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
