What is the best remidy for Hydroco/APAP5-500MG induced constipation? I know the first step is to stop taking this pain medicine, but what can I do to induce a bowel movement? ## You could try natural remedies such as fiber (Fibercon or power forumulas), eating prunes and lots of veggies, etc. Of course, your body should start to get back to normal once the meds are discontinued. Just double check to make sure you won't be going through withdrawals if you have been taking it for awhile. Hope this helps... ## When I was on pain management, I found the natural fiber supplements to be the most effective!
