Taking medicine with psyllium husk

DorisRMember

Anyone had any adverse effects from taking medicines with psyllium husk? Label says not to, but others posted they have taken both at same time.

The reason you are not supposed to take fiber supplements with other medications is not because of an adverse effect, but the fact that it may block or delay absorption. This could affect the efficacy of your medications. But some drugs may be OK. Mainly, if you should not take a medication with food, the same is true of fiber supplements (Of any kind, not just psyllium).

Thank you for the response. I hope it does that with my calorie intake as well

Ha! We should only be so lucky!

My gut is extremely efficient in extracting calories no matter how fast it zips through.
