Try the minimum dose first.
Place the tablet on the curved back of a spoon and press down on both sides of the tablet, centered on the score line, to split it.

[Advice for relieving constipation] Make a habit of bowel movements. Go to the toilet once a day at a fixed time (after breakfast is best).
It is important not to hold back the urge to defecate.

Pay attention to your diet
Actively eat foods containing dietary fiber, such as beans, vegetables, and fruits, to stimulate intestinal movement.
Also try to drink fluids frequently.

Get moderate exercise
Moving your muscles with moderate exercise stimulates the intestines.
Incorporate stretching, jogging, etc. into your daily life.
Massaging your 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 your bowel movements improve after taking the medicine, stop taking it and watch how things go 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.
