A severe electrolyte imbalance can cause serious health problems, such as muscle spasm and twitching and even convulsions.

Your doctor will decide exactly how long and how much Fybogel you need to take. Occasionally, you may need to take 2 different types of laxatives at the same time to get your bowels moving again. Only take 2 laxatives together on the advice of your doctor or pharmacist, as there's an increased risk of side effects.
