I have been suffering from indigestion, chronic acidity, and constipation for the past few months. What medicines or over-the-counter treatments can I take to relieve these symptoms?
For your chronic acidity and indigestion, generic proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole or H2 blockers like famotidine can effectively reduce stomach acid. To relieve constipation, bulk-forming laxatives like psyllium husk or osmotic laxatives like polyethylene glycol are helpful. Alternatively, magnesium hydroxide can serve a dual purpose as both an antacid and a gentle laxative. Since these symptoms have persisted for several months, I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation to address the root cause, rather than relying solely on over-the-counter remedies. Also, try to increase your daily water and dietary fiber intake gradually.
