What laxatives were people on when they were taking their pain meds?

I cant take Orimoph so not sure what painkillers they can give me?

Taking Tramodol now as I have pain when swallowing? So not sure if these will contain the pain?

Thanks 

  • Movicol and Laxido are the usual ones. 
    I took two laxido daily but I was on opiates.

  • I too took laxiido 1 or 2 a day - I was on codeine and then oramporph. I got it over the counter from Boots at first (post tonsillectomy then was given it by the nurses when I had radiotherapy.
