About PSYLAX CAPSULE

PSYLAX CAPSULE is used to treat constipation and indigestion. Constipation is a condition characterised by fewer bowel movements and difficulty passing stools. Indigestion is the inability to digest food, often accompanied by stomach pain and discomfort.

PSYLAX CAPSULE contains Ispaghula husk, a dietary fibre. When mixed with water, PSYLAX CAPSULE produces a gel-like substance. This gel easily passes through the digestive system and increases the water content in the stools.

PSYLAX CAPSULE is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like wind and bloating due to the sudden increase in fibre intake. Exposure to Ispaghula husks on the skin or their inhalation may cause a skin rash and a runny or itchy nose.

Let your doctor know if you have any stomach or intestinal blockage, appendicitis, or reduced bowel movements before starting PSYLAX CAPSULE. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you are suffering from indigestion. PSYLAX CAPSULE is not recommended for children below six years of age.
