Suggest Treatment For Constipation

I have been using Smooth Move tea for almost 5 years now. I have always had a constipation problem. I am now 83 and the tea which worked well at first does not work well now. Last night I took a cup with 6 tea bags with very little result. I wish I could take something a couple times a week that would work. Years ago when I was pregnant a Doctor prescribed Evacugen, which was a chewable tablet that tasted like licorice. I can not seem to find it now and I am not sure it would work anyway.
