Codeine and constipation

Some pain killers contain an ingredient called "Codeine" and with excessive use or prolonged use can cause constipation, if this is the case you will need to speak to your doctor and possible find a different method of pain relief.

You can offset the side effects of codeine with a well balanced diet lots of fruit and veg or even take multivitamins, however you are better of discussing this with your family doctor.

Many people write in to us to ask does codeine cause constipation and the simple and short answer is yes, depending on how much codeine / painkillers you are taking and the period of time you have or will be taking them for can influence the severity of your constipation.

Faecal softeners

Another suggested method comes in the form of "Faecal softeners" these come in tablet or oral liquid "docusate sodium" some times referred to as "Coloxyl" will help water penetrate into the faeces, to help make your "waste" softer and easier to pass. Faecal softeners are very good for treating constipation, mostly recommend for use such as a long-term scenario or if the person has
had haemorrhoid trouble or issues in the past.

Again please speak to a doctor first before buying "Coloxyl" from a chemist or pharmacy.
