Ok, so i went to the doctor after a severe bout of constipation over the last few weeks, he has prescribed me colpermin for the bowel spasming, which at the moment really seems to be working, and docusate sodium to maintain the movement of my bowel. So far so good, but like with anything i worry about the long term effects of taking a drug.... they both appear to be working but im worried that when my prescription goes it will all go bad again, Im unsure if the medication ive been presrcibed is something i continue to take or if its just a short term thing..
