Welcome at Healthcare magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Yes these medications are mandatory. Caffeine can also relieve constipation by increasing peristalsis movement of gut mucosa.
I would also also advise you to drink 8-12 glasses of water, aerobic excersize 30 minutes a day five times per week.
Hope it helps best.
