Some healthy tips to prevent constipation from happening:
- Eat more fiber in your diet. Recommended daily intake is 20-35g
- Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day
- Exercise regularly at least 3 times per week

Take it after a gap of 2 hours from other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines.
