ISAPGEL SACHETS 10 S

Isapgel contains the active ingredient ispaghula husk in the form of granules which, when dispersed in water, make an orange flavoured drink. Ispaghula husk is a type of natural fibre that belongs to a group of medicines known as bulk-forming laxatives. It works by increasing the bulk of your stools, which encourages your bowels to move these stools through your digestive system, which in turn relieves constipation. Ispagel Orange is recommended wherever increased fibre is needed in your diet to help relieve constipation – this includes constipation during pregnancy.

DIRECTION TO USE

 Adults, the elderly and children over 12 years: One sachet Ispagel Orange in the morning and evening or as prescribed by your doctor. Children aged 12 years and under: Ispagel Orange should not be used in children aged 12 years and under. 

SIDE EFFECTS

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. If you get any of the following side effects you should stop taking Ispagel Orange and contact your doctor, as these may be signs of an allergic reaction to the medicine: • a skin rash resembling hives (itchy, raised swollen areas on the skin) or nettle rash • itchy or runny nose • shortness of breath • inflammation of the membrane that covers the inner surface of the eyelid (conjunctivitis).
