Could Glimestar and Loram cause constipation?
Patient: my wife is taking glimestar 1m od and loram h2.5 for about three weeks. these drugs have been prescribed to her for first time for bp and blood sugar. She is having severe constipation for over a week. could it be the side effect of any of these drugs? Doctor: Hi,Glimestar or Loran h are not found to cause constipation as a side effect. Possibly altered diet to manage diabetes and probably salt free diet for high blood pressure may be causing less food intake leading to constipation. Addition of plenty of fibers and water in diet would solve your problem. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
