A member asked:
Is metamucil effective every other day for chronic constipation or should me taken daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: the answer depends on your bowel movements- If they are easy to pass and you are taking the medication every other day, then that should suffice. If you have difficult to pass stools, you may need the medication daily.
