Methyldopa can cause gastrointestinal issues like nausea and constipation. To manage, drink plenty of water, eat fiber-rich foods, and consider mild laxatives.
Another way to manage methyldopa’s side effects like nausea or constipation is by taking the medication with meals, staying hydrated, and engaging in regular physical activity.
