sir, I am taking 1 tab valent 80 in the morning, 1 Cap Unistar 75 in the morning & 1 tab Valent 40 in the night . I am 73 yrs old & my wt remains between 90-93 Kgs. Earlier I did good walking say 4 kms in 40 min every day. I maintained this for a yr but wt didnot come down.I stopped walking thereafter. I am quite active otherwise. I rarely sit at home. mY present problems are 1) Over Wt 2) Constipation &gas 3) Pain in legs & back. Question:-- Are these problems due to side effect of the medicines I am taking.

Hi,

Yes, these drugs can cause abdominal pain and constipation as a common and severe side effect. Laxatives like Lactulose syrup can be taken around 15 ml at night.It takes 3 to 4 days for the drug to soften the stools. Maintain high fibre diet,adequate nutrition. Mild stretching exercises can reduce the pain in legs. Vitamin B12 and D supplements can also reduce the pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
