Hi Phleb
If you have been given it after seeing your practise nurse- and they have access to your medical records- then it would be ok. I would go ahead and follow your nurse's instructions and hopefully it might help you go to the toilet and feel more comfortable.
If you take it and it has no effect then there are other options that they can prescribe for you.

I hope you have a better night tonight
