Hello,

I would advise you to stop the Laxido as your mother has developed loose motions and it may lead to dehydration. Give her lots of fluids which will help to correct the dehydration and also prevent future constipation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
