do you take the stool softener with laxative, im assuming or senokot s, if so how many?
I looked up both medications, it seems Relistor is to counteract opioid dehydration and only works in a situation where an opioid has caused the constipation. As Cesamet's not an opioid, I believe Amitiza would be one to ask my GP about. Thanks for the great info!
