About ispaghula husk

الإمساك is a common problem which can be caused by a number of things. Not eating enough fibre or not drinking enough fluid can cause constipation. Some conditions (such as pregnancy) can cause constipation, as can a lack of exercise or movement (such as being ill in bed) and some medicines.

Often, increasing the amount of fibre (bran) in your diet and drinking plenty of water each day can effectively prevent or relieve constipation. You will have been recommended ispaghula husk to help relieve constipation if you cannot increase the amount of fibre in your diet, or if this is insufficient. Ispaghula husk, a ملين, works by increasing the bulk of your stools, which encourages your bowels to move the stools through your digestive system, in turn relieving constipation.

Sachets containing granules of ispaghula husk are available on prescription, and can also be bought without a prescription at pharmacies and other retail outlets.

Before taking ispaghula husk

To make sure this is the right treatment for you, ask for advice from a doctor or pharmacist before you start using ispaghula husk if any of the following apply to you:

• إذا كنتِ حاملاً، تحاولين الإنجاب أو تقومين بالرضاعة الطبيعية. وذلك لأنكِ أثناء الحمل أو إرضاع الطفل، يجب عليكِ تناول الأدوية فقط بناءً على توصية الطبيب.

• إذا كان الأمر يتعلق بطفل. وذلك لأن الملينات يجب أن تُعطى للأطفال فقط بناءً على نصيحة الطبيب أو أخصائي الرعاية الصحية.

• If you have any problems with the way your kidneys work or you are on a potassium-controlled diet.

• إذا كنت تواجه أي صعوبة في البلع.

• إذا كنت تعاني من الإمساك لدرجة أنك تعتقد أنك قد تكون لديك انسداد.

• إذا كنت تتناول أي أدوية أخرى. يشمل ذلك أي أدوية تتناولها والتي يمكن شراؤها بدون وصفة طبية، بالإضافة إلى الأدوية العشبية والمكملات الغذائية.

• إذا كنت قد تعرضت في أي وقت مضى لرد فعل تحسسي تجاه دواء.

How to take ispaghula husk

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about ispaghula husk and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience.

• Take ispaghula husk exactly as your doctor tells you to, or as directed on the pack. The usual dose for an adult is one sachet taken twice a day. Pour the granules from the sachet into a glass of water (about 150 ml), stir well, and then drink the liquid as soon as possible.

• It is best if you take your doses just after a meal. Never take a dose at bedtime.

• If a doctor or healthcare professional has recommended ispaghula husk for your child, check the label on the pack carefully to make sure that you give the correct dose for the age of your child. Remember to stir the granules into a glass of water before giving the mixture to your child.

• إذا نسيت تناول جرعة، لا تقلق، فقط تناول الجرعة التالية عند موعدها. لا تأخذ جرعتين معًا لتعويض الجرعة المنسية.

تحقيق أقصى استفادة من علاجك

• Sometimes it may take a few days before you feel the full benefit from a bulk-forming laxative such as ispaghula husk. However, if after several days you do not feel that your symptoms are improving, or if they become any worse, you should speak with a doctor.

• It is important to drink plenty while you are taking ispaghula husk. Adults should aim to drink at least two litres (about 8-10 cups) of fluid per day. Most sorts of drink will do, but as a start, try just drinking a glass of water 3-4 times a day in addition to what you normally drink.

• حاول تناول نظام غذائي متوازن يحتوي على أطعمة غنية بالألياف مثل الخبز والحبوب الكاملة، الفواكه والخضروات، الأرز البني والمعكرونة الكاملة. إذا لم تكن معتادًا على نظام غذائي غني بالألياف، فقد يكون من الأفضل زيادة كمية الألياف التي تتناولها تدريجيًا.

• الحفاظ على نشاط جسمك سيساعدك في الحفاظ على حركة جهازك الهضمي، لذا حاول ممارسة بعض التمارين اليومية بانتظام.

• You may wish to include some foods in your diet that contain sorbitol. Sorbitol is a naturally occurring sugar. It is not digested very well and draws water into your bowel which has an effect of softening stools. Fruits (and their juices) that have a high sorbitol content include apples, apricots, gooseberries, grapes (and raisins), peaches, pears, plums, prunes, raspberries and strawberries.
