Psyllium is a gum obtained from the plant of the plantago genus. it
hydrates slowly to form a viscous dispersion of concentrations up to
1%. a clear, gelatinous mass is formed at 2%. it is used in bulk laxa-
tives. psyllium husk, having a purity of no less than 95% is a source
of beta-glucan soluble fiber. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Light yellow-brown powder with a slightly distinctive odor. Its aqueous solution is highly viscous and can form a silky, transparent solution. When heated to 90°C, it forms a viscoelastic gel. It has a weak water-holding capacity and dries easily. Upon contact with water, it first swells and then gradually hydrates. If the hydration time or speed is insufficient, it can easily become granular. | [Definition]
ChEBI:Psyllic acid is a very long-chain fatty acid. | [Clinical Use]
Bulk-forming laxative | [Drug interactions]
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs None known | [Metabolism]
The mode of action of Fybogel is physical and does not depend on absorption into the systemic circulation |
