I have piles and fissures, and my doctor prescribed Fepace OD Tablet knowing my full medical history. Can this medicine cause constipation, and should it be replaced?

Asked by Female, 37 · 18 days ago

Fepace OD Tablet is not commonly known to cause constipation, but individual responses can vary. Since your doctor prescribed it after understanding your condition, you should not replace or stop the tablet on your own. If you notice constipation or worsening of piles or fissures after starting the medicine, inform your doctor, who can decide whether a change is needed and may also advise dietary measures, such as increased fibre and fluids, to help prevent constipation.

Fepace OD Tablet contains several components that can affect bowel movements differently. Carbonyl iron, a key ingredient, may sometimes cause constipation as a side effect, while docusate sodium is a stool softener that usually helps prevent constipation. The other ingredients like adenosylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B12), folic acid, and zinc sulfate generally do not cause constipation.

Given your condition with piles (hemorrhoids) and fissures, the presence of docusate sodium in the tablet is beneficial as it helps keep stools soft, reducing strain during bowel movements and easing symptoms. However, if you notice worsening constipation or discomfort, it is important to inform your doctor, who may adjust your treatment or suggest additional measures such as increased fiber intake and hydration.

If you want, I can explain how to manage piles and fissures alongside your medication. Meanwhile, please consult your prescribing doctor or a gastroenterologist for personalized advice and monitoring.
