Does holding at 20 mg for two weeks before escalating reduce constipation?

Asked 20 Mar 2024Modified 2.4 years agoViewed 35k times

What I am working with: 20 mg · two weeks · constipation.

I keep seeing this stated as a fact with no explanation attached, and unexplained facts make me suspicious.

My background is quantitative but not chemical, so I can follow an equation more easily than a hand-wave.

Why does this happen, and what would falsify the usual explanation?
