Hi,
Sorry to hear about what your are going through. Laxopeg as you mentioned is given to relieve constipation, and it's pretty safe to be given for long time.
It's main side effects are nausea, bloating, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps rarely. Howevee generally it's a very safe and effective drug so it can be used for a long time.
