Mum is 91 and suffers quite a lot with constipation. Up until now mum has only taken it when needed which is quite often. Is it o.k for mum to take axido in small does every day. from Sue
[|AI|]  Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Welcome to Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.It's Ok for her to take laid for her constipation she can take what dose suits her, and she has to adjust the dose herself Like if full pack make her stools very watery make it a half or a quarter for that matter, Give her more fibrous food like oatmeal oatmeal or wheat oatmeal, replace simple milk bread with bran bread, Anemia in this age is not a rare finding.  Discuss your doctor about supplementation if anemia can be controlled by it.  Constipation has many complications so it's better that she doesn't have it for long.  Yes !! it's ok for her to take it in small doses every day. In this age a person loses appetite so keep her at goo HY
