Fybogel Hi Fibre – Orange Flavour (60 Sachets)
Gentle, bulk-forming fibre drink for the relief of constipation and to help maintain regularity.
Flavour: Orange Pack size: 60 sachets Active ingredient: Ispaghula husk 3.5 g per sachet
What it is
Fybogel Hi Fibre is a high-fibre drink containing ispaghula (psyllium) husk, a natural bulk-forming laxative that helps restore and maintain normal bowel function by increasing stool bulk and softness.
Key benefits
- Relieves constipation gently and naturally
- Helps promote regular bowel movements
- Orange-flavoured granules in convenient single-dose sachets
- Suitable for adults and children (see dosage)
- Each sachet is essentially sodium-free (<23 mg sodium)
How it works
Ispaghula husk absorbs water in the bowel and swells, increasing stool volume. The larger, softer stool triggers the bowel to move more regularly. Effects are usually seen within 12–72 hours.
Storage
- Keep out of sight and reach of children.
- Store in a dry place below 30 °C.
- Do not use after the expiry date on the carton.
Good to know

- Each pack contains 60 single-dose sachets.
- Always read the label and the patient information leaflet.
