Psychiatric medications are known to cause constipation. Visit your psychiatrist for adequate dose adjustments and tapering as needed. While medication adjustments are crucial, syrup formulation may not be enough. Combining medication adjustments with healthy dietary changes can help improve constipation symptoms.

The syrup you are taking should be taken in adequate amount. If taking less than the required dose, it appears not working.
