Shan, Dulcolax Suppositories can be a help in relieving your mom's constipation if she is unable to evacuate stool in her lower colon. If her constipation continues, you might consider having a home health care nurse help with this problem. We often give oil retention enemas followed by a fleet enemas when constipation persists regardless of stool softeners. However, it is best if an RN evaluates your mom and shows you how the procedure is done before you attempt it yourself. You should have no difficulty getting a referral from your mom's physician for home health care for a limited period of time. Constipation can become very serious and even cause death if it persists. --------- Mary Ann RyN (CG Jamie 68/28 years with PD, died 11/20/07) > Thanks to all who had responded.
