Do Lexapro and calcium pyruvate cause constipation?

Studies show that calcium usually causes constipation in patients and Lexapro can also cause constipation rarely (3% in some studies). Please consult with your physician so that he can evaluate and prescribe medications if needed. Over-the-counter products such as Metamucil, colace, etc. are prescribed by physicians for constipation. Increasing fluid intake and eating more fruits and vegetables can also help decrease constipation.
