A member asked:

Experiencing constipation after taking zofran (ondansetron) what laxative would be recommended to relieve this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

maybe none: I suggest you avoid chemicals if possible.Eat a balanced diet, move a bit, and stay hydrated. If you must use something, keep in simple. Milk of magnesia, (magnesium hydroxide) as directed, should work on someone who's not already taking it . Good luck.
