A member asked:
Is it safe to take just 1 senokot (senna) each week for constipation ? or would i get too dependant ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Once a week won't: Hurt. Eat more fiber and drink more water with prune juice. Try laxatives - dulcolax, milk of magnesia, (magnesium hydroxide) magnesium citrate every now and then. Stay active and exercise. Take care!
