Can He Laxative Be Taken For Long Periods Of Time?
Hello
I have been constipated for about 2 weeks now and my dr has given me laxido and senna tablets to take for 10 days. Can I take laxatives for that long a period? Are they ok to take together? Can i take 1 laxido in the morning and 1 in the afternoon? And my senna tablet at night? Before bed. How long after taking laxido does it start to work? Sorry for all the question I have never had to take this kind of stuff before
Thank you
Kirsty

Hello,
You can take laxido for a long period of time without any problems. But Senna should not be take for a long period, 10 days is alright. They can be taken together. Senna is to be taken at night. Laxido to be taken as you have described it. It might take 12 to 36 hours to work
Hope this helps
Do get back in case you have further queries
