Hi doctor, I am suffering from IBS for past one month. I have been taking Sporlac tablet from last 10 days. If I stop taking Sporlac I am suffering from heavy constipation. For how long I have to take Sporlac?
Hello. Sporlac contains lactobacillus and can be prescribed for 10 to 14 days. But duration is decided according to the need of it. Irritable bowel syndrome is functional bowel problem and stress is related to it. So, try to avoid stress if you are taking. Yoga, meditation are beneficial for that. Lubiprostone is a specific drug that is sometime used in irritable bowel syndrome.  If you have constipation more, then fiber diet is recommended. Take high fiber diet like whole grain, wheat bran, green leafy vegetables, fruits, etc. Take care.  For more information consult a general practitioner online -->
