Speaker: Mary Bove. Persistent constipation can impact a child's physical and psychosocial well-being. Therapies include education, diet, lifestyle, and botanicals for supporting digestive secretions and intestinal motility; herbal nervines for stress relief and analgesic properties; herbal laxatives for bulking agents and autonomic visceral relaxants. Current OTC and prescription drugs used in pediatric constipation are reviewed.
