Hello,

Yes lesuride and pantocid are safe in constipation. Infact they may provide some relief in constipation as lesuride improves the gut motility.

You are already taking medicines for constipation. You may have to add food items with fibre in them like fruits and vegetables.

Drink plenty of water, infact 2 glasses of warm water in the morning before you go to freshen up may help.

Making it a habit to sit on the seat whether you are getting the reflex or not is good. Do some regular exercises. There are yoga exercises also to cure constipation forwhich yo may have to consult a yoga expert.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
