Medications that cause constipation slow down your intestinal muscles. Some draw water out of the stool. Some changes in nerves that control bowel movement. You will often see constipation in people taking medicines for pain, mood, allergies, acid, or bladder problems. Older adults and people taking many drugs face a higher risk. Constipation can begin within days or weeks of starting a medicine.
