Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Unlikely: Not a known side effect of the drug, but you can still try for yourself to hold it and see if the constipation resolves, otherwise see your doctor for evaluation if it is really bothersome, as there are several causes for constipation, best wishes
