Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Sorbiline is not a drug used for constipation,
It is liver corrective enzyme.
For constipation you may use Lactulose syrup two times daily.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
