Can I Take Another Laxative Before Linzess Is Out Of My System?
I started taking Linzess about a month ago. It worked well for awhile, then it stopped working. I doubled the amount to 290 mg. still nothing. Can I take another laxative before it is out of my system? Concerned that nothing will work. Thank you, Anna YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Yes you can take another laxative. If you are very constipated take an enema and some milk of magnesia. Make sure you are walking 30 minutes daily and drinking 2-3 liters of water daily.
Regards
