A member asked:
I am constipated and on ciprofloxacin. what stool softeners can i use? (im on cipro for 2 weeks)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
'Gentle' ones: Many of the otc stool softeners work osmotically, to increase amount of moisture retained in stool (=softening it). Senna being a common example, but any of the non-stimulant laxatives should help. Can also ask your dr or the pharmacist for further guidance.
