Medicinal Uses of Biofibre Tablets
Constipation is generally described as a condition in which bowel movements occur less than three times a week.
Although constipation is a very common condition, some people suffer from chronic constipation, which can interfere with their ability to perform daily tasks.
Chronic constipation may also cause people to strain excessively to have a bowel movement.

Swallow the tablet whole with plenty of liquid.

In cases of chronic use or misuse, potassium loss can increase the effect of cardiac glycosides and interfere with the action of antiarrhythmics.
Potassium loss can be enhanced by combination with certain diuretics, cortisone or cortisone-like substances (adrenocorticotropic steroids), and licorice root.
Absorption of concomitantly taken medications from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream can be delayed. A reduction in insulin dosage may be required in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes.
