When to stop Laxido

My 3 year old was constipated for a couple of months before we disimpacted. We got to rusty water at 8 sachets and ive slowly reduced over the weeks. He is on 2 daily and does a poo daily (bristol stool 4). I have tried reducing to 1 but i feel he doesnt end up going to the toilet daily and has some marks in his pants.

How long can he stay on laxido? Should i keep trying to reduce or stay on 2.

Stay on for as long as is necessary. There is no harm being on it long term.
