Hello and thanks for the query.
You seem to have developed constipation most likely due to intake of ciprofloxacillin.
Take plenty of water.
More fruits and XXXXXXX vegetables.
Take some laxative like DULCOLAX 2 tablets in the night for a day or two to get rid of your constipation.
Avoid taking laxative for more than couple of days.
I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any other query.
Best of luck
Thanks
