it is not advisable to take these medicines long term as they increase your dependance on them and gradually they may stop working all together or you may have to increase the dose of the medicine in order to get the desired result.
i suggest it would be better to take natural supplements like isabgol and high fiber flax seeds.take plenty of water and fiber rich foods like salads and raw vegetables.
