Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for the query.

Magnesium can provide relief from constipation. Syrup cremaffin contains the magnesium that can be used for constipation.

High fiber diet like fruits and vegetables can also help for constipation.

Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have other concerns.

Regards
