Laxido question

[AllBranEater]

I take medication that constipates me. I take 2-3 sachets a day, but if I don't go for 2 days I am supposed to up it by one sachet each day. So I took 5 sachets yesterday, and today will be six sachets. However, I'm worried about it working in the middle of the night (I don't always wake up when this happens because of my medication side effects). What time of day is it best to take the sachets today (and tomorrow if I don't go) to avoid them working in the middle of the night?

When I worked on a ward (nurse) one of my consultants said the best approach was to mix 5-6 sachets in a jug and drink it over the course of the day. I think if you’re reaching the point you need that many though, you need to speak to the person who prescribed them again.

Thanks @StarsBeneathMyFeet . I know why it's happening (increased meds that cause constipation), my plan says to up it each day until I reach 7, at which point it is the weekend so harder to get advice. I might see if anything happens before tomorrow, and make contact then if no joy.
