For what? Ispaghol is herbal nd can b taken!bt dnt take when u ve diarrhea or loose stools

General Practitioner in Rawalpindi - Dr. Talha Mukhtar

Definitely just increases fibre in your diet. Usually should be avoided in diarrhoea but has been proven to be beneficial in diarrhoea with IBS. That’s an exception.

It is safe.. Way of taking ispagol is different according to the symptoms.

General Practitioner in Haripur - Dr. Umar Afzal

yes safe

General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. Anam Raza

depends why you want to take it
if you want to stop constipation or diarrhoea then taking it continuously will cause you the opposite the symptom to become a problem
also
it will eventually result in weight loss and lower cholesterol levels
take it only till your target symptom resolves

General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. Tahir Alavi

Ispaghol or Psylium is a good colon cleanser and a weight control supplement but has to be substantiated by adequate nutritional balance for a beneficial effect.
Depends on why your brother is taking it.
Usually taken twice a day.
No harm in taking dsily for short intervals and giving a gap for longterm consumption.
Regards.

General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. S Mehak

no.
take it for 3 days then gap for 3 days n vice versa.

General Practitioner in Lahore - Dr. Umair Khalid

yes it is safe...but must not be taken habitually.

General Practitioner in Lahore - Dr. Mubashra Islam

normally it's safe to take it daily provided you have no contradictory medical conditions..

General Practitioner in Lahore - Dr. Salman Hameed

Yes it is Safe. But Do Not Take it when one has Diarrhea/Loose Stools.
According to various researches, one can consume 10-20 grams of Ispaghol with 8 ounces of water to lower cholesterol. 20 grams of Ispaghol also helps in preventing constipation.
