Diet: Laxatives should not be used to lose weight. They can negatively impact on electrolytes and abuse can be negatively impacting on gastrointestinal health. Diets should be sensible along with a good exercise regimen

I take 2 dulcolax a day (used to take 10+ a day, Im trying to come off). I plan to conceive soon - will I need to stop taking all laxatives abruptly?
Very good evening and Happy July 4th Weekend doctors. For occasional constipation can you alternate between Miralax and another laxative like Dulcolax or is Dulcolax too strong to use on an intermittent basis?
