Constipation
Constipation is infrequent bowel movements or difficult passage of stool that can last for several weeks or longer. Generally, constipation is described as having fewer than three bowel movements a week. Your colon’s main role is to absorb water from residual food as it’s passing through your digestive system. This then creates stool. The colon’s muscles eventually gets rid of the waste through the rectum. If stool remains in the colon for too long, it can become hard and difficult to pass.

Symptoms include:
  • Fewer than three bowel movements a week
  • Passing lumpy, hard, or dry stools
  • Straining or pain during bowel movements

Constipation is a very common condition that can be caused by a variety of different reasons. For example, a lack of fibre or fluids in one’s diet can often cause constipation alongside a host of other causes. Taking a multi-pronged approach to treating constipation is often the most effective. This sort of approach typically involves making simple changes to one’s diet and/or lifestyle, coupled with the use of laxative-based medications should it be deemed necessary.

Here at Elite Meds, we stock a wide range of medications formulated to ease, soothe and treat constipation in a safe manner.
