Patient Info

Made from the husk of natural Psyllium seed, Metamucil works in the same way as high fibre foods. It provides the bulk to digested foods which helps it move through the digestive system at a normal rate. An increased intake of fibre in the diet every day helps to promote a healthy digestive system. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fibre from Psyllium husk, as in Metamucil, may lower cholesterol levels. Reductions in cholesterol may contribute to reducing the risk of heart disease.

Warning

Keep Metamucil out of reach of children. Do not use in cases of medication-induced constipation. In case of overdose, seek professional help or contact a poison information centre immediately. Before using Metamucil, consult your doctor if you: have a sudden change in bowel habits persisting for 2 weeks or have abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or rectal bleeding or are considering it as part of a cholesterol-lowering program. If you experience chest pain, vomiting or difficulty in swallowing or breathing after taking Metamucil seek immediate medical attention. Taking this product without adequate fluid may cause it to swell and block your throat or oesophagus and may cause choking. Do not take if you have difficulty in swallowing. Allergy Alert: May cause an allergic reaction in people sensitive to inhaled or ingested psyllium. If constipation persists beyond 7 days, consult a doctor. Laxatives, including bulk fibres, may affect how well other medicines work. If you are taking a prescription medicine by mouth, take Metamucil at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after the prescribed medicine to minimise any effect on drug absorption. As your body adjusts to increased fibre intake, you may experience changes in bowel habits or minor bloating.
