Suggest Treatment For Constipation

Hi, I've been constipated for about a week and a half and today I took Phillip's Milk of Magnesia liquid medicine this morning and I still haven't had a bowel movement. What do you suggest I do? Are there any other laxatives I should use? If so, what?

Hi,
Any laxative takes some time to work.
Wait for few hours more.
Take laxative daily at night.
You can take Cremaffin liquid instead of Milkof magnesia.
Take plenty of water and green vegetables.
Ok and take care.
