PSYLAX CAPSULE

Let your doctor know if you are using any other medicines, herbal or vitamin supplements before you take PSYLAX CAPSULE. Inform your doctor if you have any stomach or intestinal blockage, appendicitis, swallowing problems, rectal bleeding, diabetes, phenylketonuria (increased levels of an amino acid called phenylalanine), and reduced bowel movements before starting PSYLAX CAPSULE. PSYLAX CAPSULE is to be taken with enough liquid, since it may lead to difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and vomiting. If you need to take PSYLAX CAPSULE at night time, take it with a proper amount of liquid at least one hour before going to bed to avoid blocking of the gut or swallowing problem during sleep. During pregnancy, your doctor may suggest PSYLAX CAPSULE to cure your constipation that occurs when your intestines are squished with the baby's presence in the womb. Breastfeeding women can use PSYLAX CAPSULE with proper consultation and caution. PSYLAX CAPSULE is not recommended for children below six years of age. Store PSYLAX CAPSULE away from direct sunlight and a temperature not exceeding 25°C.

PSYLAX CAPSULE helps in treating constipation and indigestion. It contains a dietary fibre called Ispaghula husk. It is the seed coat obtained from the plant Plantago ovata Forssk. PSYLAX CAPSULE produces a gel-like substance when mixed with water forms. This gel easily passes through the digestive system and increases the water content in the stools. PSYLAX CAPSULE further increases the bowel movements and lubricates the intestine for easy passage of stools. It can be used whenever you need to include fibre in your diet. It helps to cure constipation without causing any discomfort or unnatural urgency in passing the stools and thus helps in regularising the elimination of stools.
