Treatment for Constipation

Most cases of constipation respond to conservative treatment, such as dietary and exercise changes or mild laxatives.Take adequate time for moving your bowels and not to suppress the urge to have a bowel movement. Increasing exerciseis also important if you lead a sedentary lifestyle. For stubborn constipation take the non-digestible sugar called lactulose or specially formulated electrolyte solutions. Polyethylene glycol (MiraLAX) is available over the counter for short-term use for constipation in children and adults. Lubiprostone (Amitiza) and linaclotide (Linzess) are prescription drugs for long-term use in chronic constipation in adults and the elderly.
