What are Fybogel Fibre Chews used for?

Fybogel Fibre Chews are used to treat constipation. Constipation is a common condition where you have difficulty emptying your bowels, and your stools are often hard and dry. Fybogel Fibre Chews work by increasing the bulk in your stool, which helps to stimulate bowel movements and makes it easier to pass stool.

How do Fybogel Fibre Chews work?

Fybogel Fibre Chews contain the active ingredient ispaghula husk, which is a type of fibre. When you take Fybogel Fibre Chews, the ispaghula husk absorbs water in your digestive system and forms a bulky gel. This gel then stimulates the muscles in your digestive system, helping to move waste products through your intestines and out of your body. This process makes it easier to pass stools and relieves constipation.

Who are Fybogel Fibre Chews suitable for?

Fybogel Fibre Chews are suitable for adults and children over 6 years old who are experiencing constipation. They are also suitable for people who need to increase their daily fibre intake to maintain regular bowel movements.

It is important to take Fybogel Fibre Chews with plenty of water to ensure the fibre can work effectively in your digestive system.

You can take Fybogel Fibre Chews up to 3 times a day. However, if you are taking them to treat constipation, you may only need to take them once a day. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist to determine the correct dosage for your individual needs.
