Hello
Thanks for the query
You can definitely ask her to take syp looz at night time. It will not cause any drug interaction, we usually start at 15 ml a day. Once her constipation is better she can either stop or reduce the dosage according to her comfort level. Constipation in kidney disease patients are usually due to dietary restriction and syp looz helps
I hope I was of help
Regards
