About Lubowel 24 Capsule
Lubowel 24 Capsule belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat chronic constipation and constipation associated with medicines like opioids (painkillers). Besides this, Lubowel 24 Capsule is also used to treat irritable bowel syndrome-associated constipation in women. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. A constipated person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. It occurs when the large intestine's regular muscle contractions slow down, thereby causing incomplete bowel elimination from the body.
Lubowel 24 Capsule contains ‘Lubiprostone’ that works by retaining the water inside the intestines, which causes the intestine's easy movement. It also acts by drawing water into the bowel and makes the stool softer and easier to pass, thereby providing relief from constipation. Thus, it relieves constipation. Lubowel 24 Capsule also helps in normalizing bowel movements.
You are advised to take Lubowel 24 Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side effects such as diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, pain or cramps, nausea and headache in some cases. 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.

Lubowel 24 Capsule should not be given to the people who had an allergic reaction to Lubowel 24 Capsule or any of its components, signs of dehydration, problems like appendicitis, bowel blockage (intestinal obstruction) and liver disease.
