[Advice for Relieving Constipation]
Establish a bowel movement routine
Go to the toilet 1 time a day at a fixed time (after breakfast is best).
It is important not to hold back the urge to have a bowel movement.

Pay attention to your diet
Actively eat foods containing dietary fiber, such as beans, vegetables and fruit, to stimulate bowel movement.
Also make a point of staying hydrated regularly.

Exercise moderately
Moving the muscles through moderate exercise stimulates the intestines.
Incorporate stretching, jogging, etc. into your daily life.
Massaging the abdomen with moderate pressure is also effective.

When laxatives are used over a long period, they tend to become less effective unless the dose is gradually increased. Once bowel movements improve after taking this medicine, stop taking it and observe for 2 to 3 days.
If you then become constipated again, resume taking it.
Gradually lengthen the interval between doses and regain normal bowel habits.
