No, it is not recommended that you use Conlax for a long time. It should only be used for a short interval of time. This is because, over time, your body might start relying on Conlax to clear the bowel, rather than working on its own. If short-term treatment doesn't provide you with positive outcomes, it is important that you speak to your doctor immediately.
