Can Senokot And Mineral Oil Be Taken Together To Relieve Constipation?
Question: I have been taking restore a lax for two weeks and it's not doing anything it is just accumulating on my left side can I take mineral oil and Senokot together
Brief Answer:
Senokot and Mineral oil can be taken together
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank You for trusting HealthcareMagic,
Senokot (Senna) and Mineral oil can be taken together to relieve constipation.
However, I would recommend discontinuing Restoralax, before starting Mineral oil and Senokot. Too many laxatives can cause side effects like diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance etc.
Take plenty of fluids, include high-fiber diet and probiotics like Yogurt, and avoid caffeinated drinks, exercise regularly to help relieve constipation.
Hope I was able to help you
