Product overview
Description
Composition
- Ispaghula Husk (Plantago ovata) - 3g
- Sonapata / Senna (Cassia angustifolia) - 1g
Per 4g sachet, manufactured by Hamdard Laboratories (Waqf) Bangladesh. One retail source describes the Senna component as "Senna Extract 1g" rather than "Sonapata husk/leaf 1g" - a minor wording variance, though the quantity is consistent across sources.
Uses & Indications
- Constipation
- Intestinal inflammation
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), as supportive relief
- Ulcerative colitis, as supportive relief
- Piles (haemorrhoids), by easing bowel movement
Dosage & Administration
- Adults: 1 sachet (4g) dissolved in 150-200ml of water, taken 1-2 times daily
- Children 6-12 years: 1/2 to 1 sachet (2-4g) dissolved in water, 1-2 times daily
- Children under 6 years: only as directed by a physician
This product must be taken with adequate water. Taking the dried husk without sufficient fluid intake can risk intestinal or oesophageal obstruction - always dissolve fully in the recommended amount of water before drinking.
Precautions & Side Effects
- Possible side effects include flatulence, stomach irritation, and, in a few cases, intestinal obstruction
- Avoid use in intestinal obstruction, acute inflammatory intestinal disease, or appendicitis
- Pregnancy guidance conflict disclosed: one Bangladesh retailer listing states this product is contraindicated in pregnancy, while another describes it more cautiously as "not recommended; consult a physician." Given this conflict, pregnant women should avoid use unless specifically advised otherwise by their physician
- Described as safe during lactation on the primary source checked, though as with any product used while breastfeeding, confirming with your physician is advisable
- General pharmacological background on the Senna component (not stated on this product's own Bangladeshi label): stimulant laxatives like Senna are generally advised against for prolonged daily use without medical supervision, as long-term use has been associated in general literature with effects such as reduced bowel responsiveness over time and electrolyte imbalance. This caution is presented as general background on the ingredient class rather than a specific finding on this product's own labeling, and it should not be used as a daily long-term laxative without physician guidance
- Ensure adequate water intake with every dose to reduce the risk of obstruction
Storage & Safety
- Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light
- Keep out of reach of children
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I take Ispa Plus during pregnancy?
A: It is best to avoid Ispa Plus during pregnancy unless your physician specifically advises otherwise, since guidance on this varies between sources and there is a documented risk of intestinal obstruction if it is taken without enough water.
Q: Can I take Ispa Plus every day for a long time?
A: It is not generally advisable to rely on it as a daily long-term laxative without medical supervision, since the senna component is a stimulant laxative and prolonged unsupervised use is associated with reduced bowel responsiveness and electrolyte imbalance over time.
Q: How should I take Ispa Plus?
A: Adults dissolve one 4g sachet fully in 150-200ml of water and take it 1-2 times daily, while children 6-12 years take half to one sachet in water at the same frequency. Always dissolve it completely, since taking the dried husk without enough fluid can risk an obstruction.
Q: Can children take Ispa Plus?
A: Children 6-12 years can take a reduced dose dissolved in water, but children under 6 should only take it if a physician specifically directs it, rather than estimating a smaller adult dose on your own.
Q: Does Ispa Plus treat irritable bowel syndrome or ulcerative colitis?
A: It is used as supportive relief alongside other care for symptoms like these rather than as a standalone treatment or cure. See a doctor for proper diagnosis and management of either condition.
Q: Who should avoid taking Ispa Plus?
A: Avoid it if you have an intestinal obstruction, acute inflammatory intestinal disease, or appendicitis. Possible side effects include flatulence and stomach irritation, and in rare cases intestinal obstruction if it is not taken with adequate water.
Q: How should Ispa Plus be stored?
A: Store it in a cool, dry place protected from light, and keep it out of reach of children between doses.
