Hi,
Any medicine can have side effects. However, the medicine you take is a fibers supplement and can help you.
It is suggested that you stop taking after 2 months and then keep a gap of a few months (2 to 5) and try to have normal bowel habits without depending on the supplement. Best is to take 1 banana every day to add fibers to your food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
