Psyllium is used for:
Treating occasional constipation and restoring regularity. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Psyllium is a fiber laxative. It works by absorbing water and swelling in the intestines. This helps the stool form the bulk necessary to be easily passed.
Do NOT use Psyllium if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Psyllium
- you have appendicitis, difficulty swallowing, severe constipation, intestinal blockage, or undiagnosed rectal bleeding
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
How to use Psyllium :
Use Psyllium as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Psyllium may be taken with or without food.
- If your dose consists of more than 1 capsule, be sure to swallow only 1 capsule at a time.
- Take Psyllium with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL).
- Do not take other oral medicines within 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking Psyllium .
- If you miss a dose of Psyllium , take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
