The drug phenobarbital can cause constipation as a side effect.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the drug phenobarbital can cause constipation as a side effect?

Unclear. No retrieved source directly states that phenobarbital causes constipation. One paper raises constipation as a possible side effect of primidone/phenobarbital only as an open question, and other phenobarbital sources list different side effects; general references confirm many drugs cause constipation but do not name phenobarbital.
