I'm a bit concerned because after taking Dulcoflex tablets, I've noticed that I'm urinating a lot more throughout the day and I'm also experiencing some weight loss. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest an alternative or a better approach?

I recommend you stop taking it. Instead, you can try using Senokot tablets. Take 1-2 tablets at bedtime as needed for constipation. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you continue to experience high urine output and weight loss, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.
