Does Intake Of Lesuride Cause Hard Stool?
I use lesuride 25 from August, 2011 and continuing till date. I experience that since October 2011 no healthy stool while before that I had to take pergative for hard stool. Now alternative days some times after that I go to latrene and found very bad stool. Should I continue the medicine ?

Respected user , Hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Usually there is no such effect of Levosulpride molecule causing hard
stools , still there are always any remote possibility of any unwanted
side effect in any single individual which may not be noted till date .
* My suggestions
- Discontinue the molecule for 7 days , watch for the stool pattern
if it returns to normal without doing any other changes in diet or
life style modifications means that was the culprit .
If stool still remains same then you need colonoscopy work up .
Hope to clarify your query
