Hi doctor,
My mother, who is 80 years old, has diabetes, high BP and thyroid since last 15 years. She is under control with medicines. She has chronic constipation since last 30 years and uses different laxatives. In the past one year, her constipation has increased and even high doses of laxatives do not work properly. She has been using Duphalac, Smuth, Milk of Magnesia, Softovac, etc. Kindly suggest the most effective laxative.
