A member asked:
Good afternoon doctors. is it safe to take metamucil every day even if you feel fine? is it better to take the liquid or the tablets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metamucil tablets or powder are good sources of crushed psyllium seeds. They help prevent constipation by absorbing liquid, thereby keeping the stool soft. I was unable to find a liquid preparation. One can adjust the dose until the stool is formed but not hard. It is safe for daily use, assuming there is no side-effect. Interestingly, it can help absorb liquid during diarrhea.
