How does psyllium husk fibre work?
Psyllium husk absorbs many times its own weight in water, swelling to form a gel-like mass in the gut. This adds bulk and softness to the stool, which is thought to help support regular bowel movements.
Which medicines can be affected if taken with Psyllium Husks Fibre Capsules?
Psyllium husk fibre can delay the absorption of some medicines, including minerals, vitamin B12, certain heart medicines, blood-thinning medicines, and some medicines used for epilepsy or thyroid conditions. If you take any prescribed medicine, leave a gap of at least 30 to 60 minutes before or after taking this product, and speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you're unsure.
Who shouldn't take Psyllium Husks Fibre Capsules?
This product isn't suitable if you have difficulty swallowing, any throat problems, or a diagnosed narrowing or blockage of the gut. If you have a sudden change in bowel habit lasting more than 2 weeks, or unexplained rectal bleeding, see a doctor before taking it.
