There is no single best medicine. Every medicine has it benefits and limitations. Treatment has to be planned based on many factors. Type of constipation, cause of constipation, it's severity, other associated factors etc need to be evaluated in detail.
Health Tips
plenty of fluids, high fibre diet.
