How should I take psyllium?
Take psyllium with a full glass (at least 8 ounces) of cool water or another liquid. Taking Psyllium without enough liquid may cause it to swell in the throat and cause choking. Avoid breathing in the dust from Psyllium powder when mixing. The dust can cause an allergic reaction when accidently inhaled. If you are taking another medicine by mouth, take Psyllium at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after the prescribed medicine, unless otherwise directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Psyllium can be taken 1 to 3 times per day. It may require continued use for 2 to 3 days to provide optimal benefit. If Psyllium has produced no effect within one week or if rectal bleeding occurs, stop taking Psyllium and see your doctor.
