When Should Actilax Be Taken?

I am starting to use actilax fir the first time. I am 76 yrs of age and have used Pru-lax for almost 6months, and it s helped with the my constipation. Actilax has been recommended as a better alternative. I m quite active for my age, like walking everywhere I can, don t smoke or am a heavy drinker. If, I decide to use actax, whouod be the best time to take it, a.m. or p.m ????

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I suggest you to take Actilax BD (twice daily) for 3 days. I recommend you to do squating exercise and Sitz bath. If you have constipation for long duration, I suggest you to do colonoscopy and refer a physician for further treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini, General & Family Physician
