Constipation is one of the common side effects of Brintellix. However, they do not constitute indications to discontinue the treatment.
In order to improve bowel movements, preparations with macrogol or lactulose can be used. These drugs do not interact with Brintellix, do not make the intestines lazy, do not cause addiction and have a mild effect.
Their use helps to restore the rhythm of bowel movements in a natural way, relieving constipation.
