REPORT

I was not getting acomplete emptying of my bowels, and therefore I was suffering from flatulence. Since I have been using softovac I fell really well. Can I take softovac regularly, without having any side effects I have used softovac for nearly 4 months.

Sir, thanks for the reply. As I am using 1 spoon regularly in the night from last 2 years. Last 15 days back I had a treatment for acute pancreatitis through eswl and ercp. stones in pancreatitis were removed by Doctors of Asian institute of Gastreoentorology. I am still using softovac for regular bowel. Can I continue using it , or stop using. Is there any side effects like again forming stones in pancreas by using Softovac continuously, Kindly answer

Softovac is a laxative that contains:

cassia fistula 0.5 gm, fennel , ispaghula 2 gm, liquorice 0.25 gm, senna 0.75 gm


WIth those ingredients, it is a supplement, rather than a medication and the side effect profiles are not studied for it.

The only thing regularly reported is some abdominal cramping.

However, you should know that if you use it every night for a long period of time, your body may become dependent on it and if you stop using it, you may be unable to have a bowel movement without it.
