How long can i use per-colace for constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually 1-2 tabs/d: For a week. If you have not responded in that time you should go see your doc. Also, you should also examine your diet and eliminate foods known to cause constipation - rice, grains, barley, milk- and split peas.

Good morning doctors! I have once in awhile but somewhat consistent bouts of constipation. My Dr. suggested Benefiber daily along with taking Miralax or Colace. Assuming this works, how do I know when it's ok to reduce or stop these, or do I not stop?
