What happens if you take ducolex stool softeners and mom together? does it become less effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You could get diarrhea from over use of laxatives. For constipation - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
