Constipation if the number one reason folks have to stop Amovig. In order for me to continue on this drug, I had to drink 36-48 oz of water every day and also took 300mg of docusate daily.
That was able to get me by regarding constipation issues. However, even with these two changes, my bowel habits noticeably changed probably due to the seemingly decrease in intestinal motility. If you ever decide to restart Amovig, this may be helpful. BUT you must take the docusate separately from all other drugs (at least 1 hr apart) to avoid interaction with other meds (i.e. decreased absorption) . And my daily dose may have been in excess, but that was the necessary dose for me to avoid the constipation issues for the most part. Also 2 fleet enema's over a 6 month period which would get things moving and avoid the possibility of impactation. Fox1
