Constipation for 20 days suggests a chronic issue, and relying only on Dulcoflex is not ideal for long-term use. Focus on a daily routine with high-fiber diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), plenty of water, and regular physical activity. For safer long-term relief, you can use bulk-forming or osmotic laxatives like Isabgol or Lactulose regularly. If constipation persists, or you notice pain, weight loss, or blood in stool, consult a doctor for evaluation and proper management.
