Warnings and precautions

Drink plenty of water while taking any laxative, particularly the fibre-based ones — without it they can make constipation worse. Do not use stimulant laxatives daily over long periods without medical advice; the bowel becomes reliant on them. See a doctor if constipation is new and persistent in an adult over forty, or comes with blood, weight loss or severe pain.

Do not take Plugo if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a suspected bowel obstruction, or with severe abdominal pain of unknown cause.

Interactions with other medicines

Laxatives can reduce the absorption of other medicines taken at the same time.

How to store Plugo Tablet

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
