Treatment Information
Overview
Fybogel Mebeverine Sachets contain two active ingredients, one is ispaghula husk, a natural fibre that relieves constipation, and the second is mebeverine which relieves abdominal cramps and pain. Fybogel maintains the mass in stools and makes it easier to pass and maintain bowel regularity.
It is gluten-free and contains no chemical components. Fybogel Mebeverine is also available in orange flavour and is used to treat IBS symptoms.
Directions
Adults and children over 12 years of age: One Fybogel Mebeverine sachet should be taken twice a day half an hour before meals. If needed an extra sachet can be taken in the middle of the day.
Granules from the sachet should be stirred into a glass of water (at least 150mls) and drunk instantly. Do not inhale the powder, as this can cause serious allergies to ispaghula to develop.
There should be an hour gap between taking Fybogel Mebeverine and other medication.
Do not take this solution just before going to bed.
Fybogel Mebeverine may take up to one day to start working. After two weeks, if there has been no improvement in your symptoms then stop using this medicine and seek advice from your doctor.
