A member asked:
How can i get doxylamine without calcium phosphate as an inert ingredient in it? the calcium constipates me no matter how much fiber i eat!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bowel regimen: You'll probably have a hard time finding it without the calcium. I'd try changing your bowel regimen. Instead of just fiber, try using a tablespoon of milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) before bedtime. Or senna pills.
