Can Laxido Be Taken For Anenima?
My mother had to have an anenima two weeks ago due to constipation the district nurses said to give her laxido every day and try to find the right dosage to keep her going example half a sachet a day. Mum is 91 and suffers quite a lot with constipation. Up until now mum has only taken it when needed which is quite often. Is it o.k for mum to take axido in small does every day. from Sue

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.
It's Ok for her to take laxido for her constipation she can take what dose suits her and she has to adjust the dose herself
Like if full pack make her stools very watery make it a half or a quarter for that matter,
Give her more fibrous food like porridge oat meal or wheat porridge,replace simple milk bread with bran bread,
Anemia in this age is not a rare finding.
Discuss your doctor about supplementation if anemia can be controlled by it.
Constipation has many complications so its better that she doesn't have it for long.
Yes !! it's ok for her yo take it in small doses every day. in this age a person loses appetite so keep her at goo hydration and don't expect her to eat a big meal like you 4-5 spoons of porridge an hour should do :)
