How Samfibre works

Fibre absorbs water in the intestine and increases stool bulk, which helps stimulate bowel movement and makes stools easier to pass. It can also support healthy gut bacteria and improve overall bowel regularity.

How to take Samfibre

Use as directed on the label or by a doctor. Typically mixed with water/milk/juice and taken immediately; take with plenty of water. Maintain adequate fluid intake during use; separate from other oral medicines by 2 hours if possible.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Samfibre as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Samfibre than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.

Most side effects of Samfibre are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

• Bloating

• nausea
• diarrhoea (if excess)

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
