Have been constipated for a few days i take prednisone voltaren and nexium (esomeprazole) can any off those make me constipated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Both Voltaren and Nexium (esomeprazole) can cause either diarrhea or constipation. A stool softener should help. Nexium (esomeprazole) is now over the counter.
