Is Lactihep Safe For Relieving Constipation In A CKD Patient Not On Dialysis?

Hello. My father has been suffering from ckd but he has not undergone dialysis. Creatinine levels have gone 1.7 now(from 4.97) but since 3 days he is suffering from constipation. Doc suggested us initially with lactulose then duphalac, but no results have been seen. Can I give him lactihep ? Is it safe ?
