I understand how frustrating this can be. For long-term use, stool softeners like lactulose syrup or PEG are considered relatively safe under medical supervision. However, before starting any daily medicine, it’s important to rule out causes like
thyroid issues, low fiber intake, or medications that may cause constipation.
Next Steps
Along with medicines, ensure enough fiber from green vegetables, fruits, whole grains, regular exercise, and consistent meal timings.
Health Tips
I would suggest you consult a doctor once for proper evaluation and to choose the safest option for you if daily use is required.
