Good idea.: Next time take 4 dulcolax tablets. Also take sennakot 2 tablets at night 2 or 3 times a week. This vegetable laxative will regularise your digestive system.

Take 4 Dulcolax: You seem to have bad constipation. Next time take 4 dulcolax at night. You need 2 tablets of vegetable laxative senakot every night regularly to help your digestive system. Also bulkt foods will help. Try eating okra twice a week.
