How long does it takes for thyroxine to reverse constipation caused by hypothyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May take weeks: If hypothyroidism is the cause of your constipation, it may take weeks to improve based on the nature of treatment, though it also depends on how hypothyroid you are and some other things like your age and overall health and diet. While waiting for your thyroid function to improve, talk to your doctor about using a stool softener.
