The active ingredient psyllium husk is comprised of the episperm and collapsed adjacent layers removed from the seeds of Plantago afar L. or Plantago indica L. . Psyllium husk is abundant in alimentary fibres and mucilages, with its mucilage content in particular being higher than that of other plantago species . Specifically, psyllium husk is capable of absorbing up to 40 times its own weight in water . Psyllium husk consists of 85% water-soluble fibre - it is subsequently partly fermentable (in vitro 72% unfermentable residue) and acts by hydration in the bowel . Lactulose is administered orally or rectally. At most, 3% is absorbed into the blood and excreted unchanged in the urine within 24 hours. Oral doses of lactulose are poorly absorbed and excreted mainly in the feces as metabolites.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
