Always read the label and package leaflet before use.

Overview

Fybogel Orange Natural Fibre Drink is a pharmacy medicine containing ispaghula husk 3.5g per sachet, a natural soluble fibre that increases stool bulk by absorbing water in the digestive system.

It is suitable for the relief of constipation and for maintaining regular bowel habits. Fybogel may also be recommended in situations where passing a soft stool is desirable, such as in people with haemorrhoids (piles).

Common Questions

How quickly does Fybogel work?

Most people experience relief within 2 to 3 days, although this varies between individuals.

Can I take it every day?

Use as directed on the package or by your healthcare professional. If constipation persists, seek medical advice.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice

Constipation is often improved by increasing dietary fibre, drinking plenty of fluids and maintaining regular physical activity. Fybogel works best when taken with sufficient water, as the fibre needs liquid to expand properly in the bowel.

Always drink the mixture immediately after preparation and follow it with another glass of water. Never take Fybogel without enough fluid, as this may increase the risk of choking or bowel obstruction.

If you develop persistent constipation lasting more than a week, severe abdominal pain, rectal bleeding or unexplained changes in bowel habit, consult your GP promptly.

• You are allergic to ispaghula husk or any ingredient in the product.
• You have difficulty swallowing.
• You have bowel obstruction or faecal impaction.
• You have narrowing of the gastrointestinal tract.
• You have sudden changes in bowel habit lasting more than two weeks unless advised by a doctor.
• Children under 6 years of age.

Consult your GP or pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking regular medication.

FAQs

1. What is Fybogel Orange used for?

Fybogel Orange is a bulk-forming laxative used to relieve constipation and help maintain regular bowel movements. It contains natural ispaghula husk fibre, which absorbs water in the bowel to produce a softer, bulkier stool that is easier to pass. It may also be used where passing a soft stool is medically recommended, such as for people with haemorrhoids (piles). Always use it according to the package instructions.

2. How does Fybogel work?

The ispaghula husk in Fybogel absorbs water as it passes through the digestive system. This increases the bulk and softness of the stool, encouraging normal bowel movement without stimulating the bowel muscles directly. Because it works naturally with your body's digestive processes, it is generally gentler than stimulant laxatives.

3. How long does Fybogel take to work?

Fybogel usually starts to relieve constipation within 2 to 3 days. As it works by increasing fibre in the bowel rather than stimulating bowel contractions, it does not normally provide immediate relief. Continue taking it as directed and ensure you drink plenty of fluids.

4. Is Fybogel a laxative?

Yes. Fybogel is classified as a bulk-forming laxative. Unlike stimulant laxatives, it works by increasing stool bulk through natural fibre, making bowel movements easier and more comfortable without encouraging dependence when used appropriately.

5. Can I take Fybogel every day?

Many people use Fybogel regularly to help maintain normal bowel function, particularly when increasing dietary fibre intake. However, if you need laxatives for prolonged periods or your constipation persists, you should speak with your GP or pharmacist to identify the underlying cause.

6. Can I take Fybogel with other medicines?

Fibre supplements can reduce the absorption of some medicines. It is generally recommended to leave at least 30 minutes to 1 hour between taking Fybogel and other oral medicines, or follow the advice in the Patient Information Leaflet. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.

7. Is Fybogel suitable during pregnancy?

Fybogel may be suitable during pregnancy because it works locally in the bowel rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream. However, always speak with your GP, pharmacist or midwife before taking any medicine during pregnancy.

8. Can children take Fybogel Orange?

Fybogel Orange is suitable for children aged 6 years and over when used according to the package instructions or medical advice. It should not be given to children under 6 years unless specifically recommended by a healthcare professional.

9. Does Fybogel help with piles (haemorrhoids)?

Yes. Fybogel may be recommended where passing a soft stool is desirable, including in people with haemorrhoids. Softer stools may help reduce straining during bowel movements, which can lessen discomfort associated with piles.

10. Do I need to drink extra water with Fybogel?

Yes. Adequate fluid intake is essential. Always mix each sachet with water, drink it immediately and follow it with another glass of water. Taking fibre supplements without sufficient fluid can increase the risk of choking or bowel obstruction.

11. Can Fybogel cause bloating or wind?

Some people notice temporary bloating or increased wind when starting any high-fibre product. These symptoms often settle as your digestive system adjusts. Drinking enough water and gradually increasing dietary fibre may help reduce these effects.
