My 6 years old son has one scarred, small kidney, the other one is well in size and function and also have urine reflux problem . He also suffering from constipation and therefore his doctor advised for laxopeg as, constipation tends him frequent urine infection. We gives him almost twice in a week from last one year and it really suits him. Is it safe to give him laxopeg for such a long time? Please advise
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.
Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
