Can I take Coloxyl 120mg together with my fibre supplement?

Before trying a laxative, it’s usually recommended to try changing your diet (such as increasing the amount of fibre), drinking more fluids and exercising more regularly. When these types of lifestyle changes are not working it may be useful to use a laxative for a short time – but if constipation is a problem it’s important to see your doctor to make sure there are no underlying causes. Fibre supplements can sometimes aggravate or even cause constipation so always check with your doctor or dietitian if you have any concerns.
