A member asked:
Very good evening doctors. my doctor wants me to take metamucil for occasional constipation. when the constipation diminishes, should i remain on the metamucil? if so, for how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, I would recommend remaining on the Metamucil after constipation resolves. High fiber, diet 5 to 6 portions of fruits and vegetables is excellent to keep your bowel movements soft. It is often recommended to take Metamucil long-term to keep bowel movements soft and avoid constipation.
