HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, ducolax would help with constipation if you are having problems.
It is a stool softener so it would soften the stool so that it can be expelled easier.
You may also need to increase your fluid and fiber intake.
At least 5 servings of fruits or vegetables a day plus whole grain foods are needed.
Avoid caffeine based or alcohol because these have a diuretic effect and would cause you to lose fluids that would help with bowel movements.
I hope this helps
