Introduction

While generally safe, it is important to consult a doctor before use, especially if you have a history of stomach disorders such as appendicitis or bowel blockage. The medicine should be taken at bedtime and at least 2 hours after other medications to avoid interference with their absorption. Common side effects are not listed, but it is always best to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

How it works
Freelac Granules Orange Lemon is a combination of lactitol monohydrate and ispaghula. Lactitol monohydrate works by increasing peristalsis (contractions) in the colon, leading to an increase in the number of bowel movements. Ispaghula Husk works by absorbing water and increasing stool volume, making it softer and easier to pass out.
