A member asked:
What to do if i have uc with constipation,is there a medicine out there that can treat both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I dont know of any medications that treat both UC and constipation at the same time. Constipation is so common that it is not surprising that you have this on top of UC. Generally I will start with a very mild stool softener for 4-6 weeks to see how that helps. Usually this is so mild it comes with few to no side effects.
