Is it okay to take Dulcoflex tablets in the ninth month? My gynaecologist advised me to take a Dulcolax tablet. Tell me what I do, please.

In the ninth month of pregnancy, constipation is common, and if your gynecologist has advised it, taking Dulcolax occasionally is generally considered safe. Do not self-medicate beyond the prescribed dose or frequency; also focus on natural measures like fiber-rich diet, plenty of fluids, and light activity. For regular use, gentler options like Isabgol are often preferred. If you have severe abdominal pain or no relief, follow up with your doctor.
