hi dr, my 6 years daughter who is a known CP child and CKD patient. she is having Chlonidine, (25 -25 -50 mcg) a day, amlodipine (2.5 mg -0 - 2.5 mg) and hydralizine (25-25-25 mg) for her hypertension which is mainly due to Kidney issues. my question to you is specifically seeking some help on her regular constipation, which I recently started helping her with suppository Dulcolax 5 mg(rectal)..how safe is it to be used for her, she is 6 years and 9 kg. and how often can I use. I tried a syrup from abott, which did not help her at all.
U should not use frequently Dulcolax suppository to your child. It may cause problem. U should try Lopez sachet (focus company). Initially start 2 sachets per day for 15 days then if stool passing normal then 1 sachet per day at night for 2 -3 months.
