DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN. BUT MORE IMPORTANT IS YOU DID NOT MENTION WHY HE WAS STARTED ON SYRUP LOOZ

IF HE WAS STARTED FOR CONSTIPATION HE CAN SURELY STOP THE SYRUP IF HIS CONSTIPATION HAS RELIEVED

BUT IF WAS STARTED ON SYRUP LOOZ FOR SOME KIND OF LIVER DISEASE
HE NEEDS TO CONTINUE THE SAME EVEN IF HE HAS NO CONSTIPATION AND STOP IT ONLY AFTER CONSULTING YOUR PHYSICIAN

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
I find this answer helpful
