empty syrup contains lactulose ,which can be safely taken during pregnancy. if you want to avoid taking it ,you can take high fibre diet and drink lots of water .

Constipation is normal in pregnancy. The syrup you are taking is absolutely safe. Don't worry. You can try taking plenty of vegetables, water and Ispagulla
