Expert advice for Levosulpiride + Dimethicone

Levosulpiride + Dimethicone is prescribed for short-term relief from constipation.
It should preferably be taken at bedtime as it requires 6 to 8 hours to show effect.
Take it at least 2 hours after taking other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach disorders such as appendicitis or a blockage in your bowel.
Do not take any other laxative along with Levosulpiride + Dimethicone without consulting your doctor.
Some healthy tips to prevent constipation from happening:
1. Eat more fiber in your diet; recommended daily intake is 20-35g.
2. Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day.
3. Exercise regularly at least 3 times per week.
4. Do not hold in stool as that can worsen bowel issues.
