Constipation: frequently asked questions

Which type of laxative should I choose?

It depends on your symptoms, age and other medicines. Fibre and osmotic laxatives are often tried first. Ask a pharmacist for advice.

When should I see a doctor?

See your doctor if constipation lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, or comes with pain, bleeding or weight loss.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional. Ask our pharmacists in store at 621 Stafford Road, Stafford, or call 07 3355 3052.
