My age 42 & had a two Hernia operation long last 2013 & 2014 in left and right side respectively. So, to avoid constipation, everyday am taking dulcolax tablet daily on night since last 2013. But I feel little worry that any side effects will come later on old age due to my daily consumption of dulcolax.

Dulcolax is safe for even long term use. But I advise my patients to follow natural food like papaya, cucumber etc to keep the stool normal after surgery. You can also try "Triphalla Churna" from any ayurbedic shop.
