Quick Tips
Together with Bisflow Tablet, taking a fiber-rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits, and green leafy vegetables is essential to maintain healthy bowel function. Avoid taking Bisflow Tablet for more than 1 week unless prescribed by the doctor, as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement. Take Bisflow Tablet after 2 hours from other medicines as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines. Bisflow Tablet should be preferably taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact.
