Chronic constipation. is using anthraquinone laxatives safe long term in low doses?

Not Great: The main prob with the long term use of any laxative is the body becomes dependent on the med & when you try to stop can be a rebound. In your case this is esp true as Movicol (Aust) is polyethylene glycol, which is an osmotic laxative as is anthra lax (work in a sim way). Also anthra lax's cause cause something called Melanosis Coli, which nobody knows the sig of. There are many tx's for IBS now.
