What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements After Decreasing Paracetamol Dosage?
Hi I had a pilonidal synus excision carried out on January 3rd. Since then I ve been on a mixture of different pain relief. Lately I ve finished with fentanyl patches and neurofen and I ve reduced paracetamol from 8 tabs to 2 per day. The last few days I ve felt very uncomfortable in my self and am very tense and a virus. Needing to use the bathroom very regularly for a poo. This might happen 3-4 times in the space of an hour. Is this normal?

What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements After Decreasing Paracetamol Dosage?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Decrease in dose of paracetamol has no relation with frequency of bowel movements. Dose modification of any laxative if consumed, antibiotic and probiotic assistance are mandatory parts of recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
