HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the constipation is the matter of concern and worry then it can be best managed with drinking more water and have more fiber containing diet, else no need to take any medicine, in very severe condition milk of magnesia can be taken and it is safe one hope this information helps.
