Should I stop taking the antacid Digene and only use the laxative Duphalac for my severe constipation during early pregnancy, since Digene contains aluminum which might be making my constipation worse?

It is completely normal to feel concerned about these symptoms. You are absolutely correct: the aluminum in Digene can contribute to constipation, so pausing it is a very sensible idea. Duphalac (lactulose) is a gentle laxative that is generally safe during pregnancy and works well to soften your stool. To help further, try to increase your daily water intake and eat more fiber-rich foods. Before making any changes, please have a quick chat with your obstetrician to ensure you receive the safest, most personalized care for you and your baby.
