laxido for a long time worried

[utrvevaj]

Hi been on laxido for a year now I suffer from chronic constipation I havent been diagnosed yet having to wait since February to see a gastro doctor to be diagnosed. I'm really relying on these laxatives every time I go and see a doctor they tell me they are safe to use long term worried I'm getting very reliant on them is anybody else in this situation and have they been told the same thank you.

Hi Utrvevaj. Iv been taking laxatives for over 17years, Iv also been told I will be on them for life. With my condition I just can’t go without them so for me taking them long term is a way safer option then not taking them. This may be the same for you but until you have a diagnosis you won’t really know. I hope you get an answer soon xx

It’s an osmotic laxative which is safe to take long term , don’t worry it just pushes things along and is perfectly safe , just be glad it works

When is the best time for you to take it.. I find if I take it just before bed I have horrid wind during the night😒

I take two one in the morning and one in the evening. I find one doesn't always work.

Wow 3 a day it's a wonder you can keep off the Porcelain Throne😳

No just two one in morning and one in evening . If I just take one a day it takes a long time to work.
