Is it bad to take prunelax everyday ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Prunelax contains Senna, which is an over-the-counter laxative that is OK for occasional use. Chronic usage risks the development of laxative dependence, with the development of chronic constipation and interference with colonic motility. If you have chronic constipation, there are better ways to treat it. See your doctor if this becomes a chronic issue for you. Good luck.

Fibre intake !: Raising the natural fibre content of food with a healthy and consistant elimination time helps the body betterin the long run. Short term use is safe, as long as one has ruled out medical causes that need intervention,,,which could be determined by a visit with a doctor to begin with.
