Ensure adequate fluid intake to avoid choking/oesophageal blockage, especially in elderly or those with swallowing difficulties. Avoid use in intestinal obstruction, severe abdominal pain of unknown cause, or acute inflammatory bowel conditions unless prescribed. Start with lower dose to reduce gas/bloating. If constipation persists >1 week, or there is rectal bleeding, severe pain, or unexplained weight loss, consult a doctor. Use with caution in diabetes if the product contains sugars (check label).
