About Fibopeg Granules

Fibopeg Granules is used to treat constipation and indigestion. Constipation is a condition that occurs when a person has fewer bowel movements and has difficulty in passing the stools (faeces). Indigestion is the inability to digest the food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

Fibopeg Granules contains Ispaghula husk, a dietary fibre. It is the seed coat obtained from the plant Plantago ovata Forssk. When mixed with water, Fibopeg Granules produces a gel-like substance. This gel easily passes through the digestive system and increases the water content in the stools. Fibopeg Granules further increases bowel movements and lubricates the intestine for easy passage of stools.

Please take Fibopeg Granules in the dose and duration advised by your doctor based on your medical condition. Fibopeg Granules 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 skin rash and runny or itchy nose. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, if they occur, please seek medical attention.
