Constipation is a rather widespread problem, which recognizes multiple behavioral and therapeutic solutions. Based on the severity of the constipation problems, each rational approach provides a therapeutic path consisting of various steps, which start from simple behavioral interventions to arrive, in the case of failure of the previous ones, to real drug therapies.
The following table shows a rational path aimed at solving constipation problems; as indicated by the color, as the interventions approach the actual drug, not only the benefits, but also the side effects of the preparation increase (avoid prolonged intakes over time). We would therefore like to underline that the use of drugs or drastic herbal remedies should be carried out only after having ascertained the failure of the behavioral measures; furthermore, these measures will in any case be pursued even if they do not produce the desired results.
