A member asked:
Is it healthy to take senokot-s every night for a week then off the pill for a week then back on every second week (one pill per night)?

Dietary regulation: is a better way, but some people have to take mild laxatives and stool softeners and fiber supplements. constipation can be a pretty awful problem to fix. it does not sound like you are abusing laxatives.
