About Livoluk Fibre Powder

Livoluk Fibre Powder belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Livoluk Fibre Powder is also used to treat pregnancy-associated constipation, haemorrhoids, anal fissures, diverticular disease, ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory bowel syndrome. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass.

Livoluk Fibre Powder is a combination of two medicines: Ispaghula husk and lactulose. Ispaghula husk is a bulk-forming laxative that works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and more comfortable to pass. Lactulose is a synthetic sugar used to treat constipation broken down in the colon (intestine) into products that absorb water from the body and into the colon. This water softens stools. Besides this, it also reduces the amount of ammonia in the blood of patients with liver disease.

Take Livoluk Fibre Powder with or without food. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Livoluk Fibre Powder for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as flatulence (wind), abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Livoluk Fibre Powder for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Consult your doctor before taking Livoluk Fibre Powder if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you Livoluk Fibre Powder only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Livoluk Fibre Powder should not be given to children unless prescribed by a child specialist. Do not take Livoluk Fibre Powder if you have galactosemia (galactose indigestion disorder). Inform your doctor if you have diabetes or if you have to undergo a colonoscopy. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Livoluk Fibre Powder . Swallow the dose immediately, do not keep Livoluk Fibre Powder in your mouth as it may cause tooth decay. Do not take Livoluk Fibre Powder for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Livoluk Fibre Powder for a bowel movement.

Medicinal Benefits

Disease/Condition Glossary

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements. The stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation occurs when the muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes incomplete bowel elimination from the body. Constipation could be associated with a sudden change of diet, a diet with less fibre, not drinking enough liquids, lack of exercise, loss of tone of the bowel muscles in older people, or staying in bed for longer.
