What is Ispaghula Husk?
Ispaghula Husk, the active ingredient in Indische Flohsamen W. Schoenenberger, is a bulk-forming laxative presented as an oral fiber supplement for oral use.

What is Ispaghula Husk used for?
Indische Flohsamen W. Schoenenberger is a bulk‑forming fiber that acts on the gastrointestinal tract to improve stool consistency and transit.\n\n- Constipation: increases stool bulk and water content to facilitate easier passage.\n- Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS‑C): normalises bowel movements and reduces abdominal discomfort.\n- Hypercholesterolemia (as a dietary fiber supplement): binds bile acids, contributing to modest reductions in serum cholesterol levels.
What are the side effects of Ispaghula Husk?
Common Side Effects:\n- Abdominal bloating: mild distension due to increased fiber fermentation.\n- Flatulence: excess gas production from bacterial metabolism of fiber.\n- Mild abdominal cramps: transient discomfort during increased peristalsis.\n- Increased stool frequency: more regular bowel movements.\n- Watery stool: occasional loose stools when fluid intake is high.\n- Nausea: occasional feeling of queasiness.\n\nSerious or Rare Side Effects:\n- Intestinal obstruction: risk if insufficient fluid is consumed with the fiber.\n- Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or swelling indicating hypersensitivity.\n- Severe abdominal pain: may signal blockage or intolerance.\n- Rectal bleeding: uncommon but warrants medical evaluation.\n- Persistent vomiting: rare indication of severe gastrointestinal upset.\n- Anaphylaxis: extremely rare systemic allergic response.
