Indications
Ispaghula husk is used as a bulking agent in this medication. This implies that when eaten with water, it expands the feces (stools) and aids the passage of solid waste through the body. Ispaghula Husk sachets are used to treat constipation and other situations where soft stools are preferable. They're also utilized for people who need to eat a lot of fiber.
Pharmacology
The majority of the Ispaghula reaches the caecum intact and strongly polymerized after four hours of eating. Ispaghula husk increases the amount of moisture in the stool, as well as the weight of wet and dry stool, and reduces gastrointestinal transit time. In the gut, anaerobic fermentation of soluble non-starch polysaccharides from Ispaghula seed produces short chain fatty acids, acetate, propionate, and butyrate. Colonocytes prefer butyric acid as an oxidative substrate, which might be beneficial in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. Ispaghula also lowers cholesterol levels. Ispaghula is thought to enhance cholesterol alpha hydroxylase activity, HMG-CoA reductase activity, and fractional turnover of both chenodeoxycholic and cholic acids. As a result, cholesterol absorption is reduced, and LDL cholesterol is reduced.
