What is Fybogel?

Fybogel (ispaghula husk) is a medicine that helps with constipation. It contains ispaghula husk, which is a type of natural fiber. This fiber absorbs water and makes stools (poo) softer and easier to pass.

How Does It Work?

When you take Fybogel with water, it forms a gel-like substance in your stomach. This helps to:

• Make your stools bulkier and softer
• Stimulate bowel movements
• Relieve constipation naturally

Who Can Take Fybogel?

Fybogel is suitable for adults and children over 6 years old. It is often recommended for:

• People who need extra fiber in their diet
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women (but check with a doctor first)
• People with mild constipation

How to Take Fybogel

1. Mix one sachet of Fybogel powder with a full glass of water (about 150ml).
2. Stir well and drink immediately.
3. Take it once or twice a day, as recommended.
4. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help it work better.

Possible Side Effects

Fybogel is generally safe, but some people may experience:

• Bloating or gas
• Stomach cramps
• Allergic reactions (rare)

If you have severe pain, swelling, or trouble breathing, stop taking it and see a doctor immediately.

Who Should Avoid Fybogel?

Do not take Fybogel if you:

• Have a blockage in your gut (bowel obstruction)
• Have difficulty swallowing
• Are allergic to ispaghula husk
