What Is The Best Medicine For Constipation?
My father was stroke caused by hypertension 2 years ago he was not active anymore, all day he spent most of the time in bed, and walks only for few steps. Our problem is he is suffering from severe constipation, we tried giving him bisacodyl but it does not give him some relief. What is the best medicine for constipation?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your father let me tell you something that there is no specific medicine for the constipation because constipation is not the disease unless proved, encourage your father to drink more water put him on high fibber diet, at the most Isabgol powder can be tried, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
