* Long term sodium docusate has multiple level effects on the intestines and secondary

My suggestions at present

next week, as sudden stoppage would hamper the issue.

- Consume high fiber diet with more of green leafy veg, cereals, pulses, legumes.
- Organic fresh fruits help great.
- Get a prescription of multi vitamin with minerals from your doc to consume on daily
basis.
- Do involve in regular exercises at home ( if not involved ).
- Keep blood sugar under control.

prove a great deal.
