Can i take dulcolax tablets 5 weeks pregnant?

Many advise against use in the first trimester. Products like Metamucil that remain within the gut insides and just retain water as the main agent are my preferred agent at any stage of pregnancy.

It is generally recommended to try to avoid any medications during pregnancy unless cleared through your gynecologist. A high fiber diet or even a fiber supplement would be a reasonable alternative. Be sure to drink lots of liquids.
