Hi
Thanks for writing in.
I am a medical specialist with an additional degree in cardiology.
I read your question with diligence.
Constipation is a common problem of our country and to best of my information Naturolax is only temporary not available.
Best alternative is Isabgol husk.
For constipation one to two spoons of Isabgol husk should be consumed with milk this will be helpful in proper bowel movement. Isabgol husk has been recognised by practitioners of allopathic medicine as high fiber diet and it helps in reducing cholesterol, another beneficial effect from cardiologist point.
Cremaffin is another drug, half table spoonful is effective if taken at night. It is available over the counter. No other benefit like high fiber diet or cholesterol reduction.
With Best Wishes.

Are there any side effects in using naturolax like medicines in the long term (I am using this for more than a year) ? While I always ensure physical activity and take lot of salad n fibre, is there any permanent remedy available for constipation?

Dependance is mainly the only side effect.You feel that you need to take naturolax when if fact you may not.Improving your diet and plenty of water is the best and only acceptable treatment of constipation.Try not to use this on a long term regular basis.
