About EVICT FIBRE POWDER

EVICT FIBRE POWDER belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. EVICT FIBRE POWDER is also used to treat pregnancy-associated constipation, haemorrhoids, anal fissures, diverticular disease, ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory bowel syndrome. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass.

EVICT FIBRE POWDER is a combination of two medicines: Ispaghula husk and lactulose. Ispaghula husk is a bulk-forming laxative that works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and more comfortable to pass. Lactulose is a synthetic sugar used to treat constipation broken down in the colon (intestine) into products that absorb water from the body and into the colon. This water softens stools. Besides this, it also reduces the amount of ammonia in the blood of patients with liver disease.

Take EVICT FIBRE POWDER with or without food. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take EVICT FIBRE POWDER for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as flatulence (wind), abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking EVICT FIBRE POWDER for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Consult your doctor before taking EVICT FIBRE POWDER if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you EVICT FIBRE POWDER only if the benefits outweigh the risks. EVICT FIBRE POWDER should not be given to children unless prescribed by a child specialist. Do not take EVICT FIBRE POWDER if you have galactosemia (galactose indigestion disorder). Inform your doctor if you have diabetes or if you have to undergo a colonoscopy. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking EVICT FIBRE POWDER . Swallow the dose immediately, do not keep EVICT FIBRE POWDER in your mouth as it may cause tooth decay. Do not take EVICT FIBRE POWDER for more than a week as it might cause dependency on EVICT FIBRE POWDER for a bowel movement.

Treatment of Constipation

Medicinal Benefits

EVICT FIBRE POWDER belongs to a group of medicines known as laxatives used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissures, hernia, cardiovascular disorder, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, and pre/post-operative conditions. EVICT FIBRE POWDER is a combination of two medicines: Ispaghula husk and Lactulose. Ispaghula husk is a bulk-forming laxative that increases the amount of water in the stool, making it softer and more comfortable to pass. Lactulose works by drawing water into the bowel, making the stool softer and more comfortable to pass, thereby relieving constipation. It helps in normalizing bowel movements. It is a type of sugar broken down in the large intestine into mild acids that draws water into the colon and softens the stools. It also helps in the growth of good gut bacteria, which helps in proper digestion. It helps properly absorb minerals in the gut, thereby ensuring maximum benefit from your food intake.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements. The stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation occurs when the muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes incomplete bowel elimination from the body. Constipation could be associated with a sudden change of diet, a diet with less fibre, not drinking enough liquids, lack of exercise, loss of tone of the bowel muscles in older people, or staying in bed for longer.
