Whats The Dosage Period Of Lactifiber For Constipation?

doctor, I have the problem of constipation ever since I am a diabetic (30 years now). Now a doctor prescribed me to take LactiFiber. I do get free motion now but I am concerned that I have to take this twice a day for life time. If that is so let it be so. Advice

Hi thanks for asking question.

Here for Chronic constipation your are using fiber supplements.

It could be taken without any notable side effects.

If you want to decrease its frequency once a day taking then treat constipation by other measures also.like.....

Fiber containing diet taken more like apple, whole grain, wheat bran , banana etc.

Water taken more like 2 to 3 litre daily.

Regular exercise done.

Chamomile in tea good herbal remedy.

So you can continue with fiber supplement or you can take above measures for constipation.

If still have query ready to help you.

Take care.
