Suggest Medication For Constipation In An 82-year-old

Hello. I have all my adult life regularly had a bowel movement every morning. I am 82 years old. For about two weeks now, I have had a continuous problem with constipation. I am down to every other day, and that with a lot of effort. It feels like a permanent new situation. I have tried mone remedies, like warm prune juice first thing in the morning, but nothing stronger. Should I be worried? What can I do?
