Cautions
Do not take Fybogel if:
your doctor has told you that you are suffering from a blockage of the bowel or muscle weakness of the bowel wall,
you are allergic to any of the ingredients
your doctor has told you that you have phenylketonuria, because the product is sweetened with aspartame, which contains a source of phenylalanine. This may be harmful for people with phenylketonuria.
Due to the increased fibre intake of your diet you may experience flatulence or bloating during the first few days of taking Fybogel. These effects should lessen as you continue to take Fybogel. If you find these symptoms particularly troublesome you can take just one dose of Fybogel for a few days. If you have any other symptoms after taking this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
Do not take Fybogel without water.
If you accidentally take too much, drink plenty of water.
