Constipation is a side effect of many medications and is known to affect the entire class of statin-type drugs used for high cholesterol. You don’t mention which medication you are using, as this is also reported with Zetia. Try using a stool softener or eating a high-fiber diet or even using a senna-type bowel stimulant medication to help.
