LAXATIVE REGIMEN
Information
Therapy for patients of Lynne Carr Columbus, D.O.
Many
prescription medications can cause constipation. Activity and diet also
affect bowel function. Due to these reasons Lynne Carr Columbus, D.O. recommends a
regimen that includes use of a laxative. The goal is for you to have a
bowel movement at least every two days. Because each patient and his or
her response can vary, use the guidelines below to find a regimen that
works best for you. If at any time your medication is changed, you may
also need to increase or decrease your daily dosage of laxative.
-If
you do not have a bowel movement in the morning,
2)
Take two Senokot-S
tablets after breakfast.
-If
you do not have a bowel movement by evening,
3)
Take three Senokot-S
tablets at bedtime.
-If
you do not have a bowel movement in the morning,
4)
Take three Senokot-S
tablets after breakfast.
-If
you do not have a bowel movement within forty-eight hours,
5)
Add two tablespoons of Milk of Magnesia after breakfast and dinner as
needed-
Continue to take three Senokot-S
tablets in the morning and three Senokot-S
tablets in the evening.
-If
you do not have a bowel movement within seventy-two hours after starting
this protocol, please consult Lynne Lynne Carr Columbus, D.O.
If
you start having bowel movements, use the previous step as your daily
laxative protocol.
