Lactulose is very safe and can be taken for years.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for choosing 'Ask A Doctor' service for your query,
I've seen your details and I appreciate your concerns,
If you want to try herbal laxative take Isabghul husk (Pysllium husk) 10 gram with XXXXXXX warm water three times a day.
It's a bulk forming agent and add bulk to the stools.
If you want to go for English medicine you can take lactulose 10 ml once daily at night time.
Both of them are very safe and can be taken continuously.
Hope I was helpful,
Feel free to follow up,
Thank you
