Frequently Asked Questions About Constipation Care
Can I get prescription constipation medication online?
Yes. Our licensed California providers can evaluate your symptoms and, if clinically appropriate, prescribe stronger medications to help manage severe or chronic constipation when over-the-counter options are not working.
When should I speak to a provider about constipation?
If you have been experiencing infrequent bowel movements, difficulty passing stool, or abdominal discomfort that does not improve with diet changes and over-the-counter treatments, an online evaluation can help identify the cause and provide a targeted treatment plan.
How much does an online constipation consultation cost?
Your virtual consultation is a transparent, flat fee of $59. You do not need health insurance, and there are no surprise urgent care bills.
Are there signs I should go to an emergency room instead?
Yes. If your constipation is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, a swollen or rigid belly, unexplained weight loss, or blood in your stool, you should seek in-person emergency medical care immediately rather than using telehealth.
