Plavotol is a powder-based laxative that’s used to treat constipation. It contains a combination of lactitol monohydrate and ispaghula husk granules.
When combined, lactitol monohydrate and ispaghula husk work together to soften stool, increase its bulk, and promote regular bowel movements, which provides effective relief from constipation.
Plavotol granules contain two key ingredients, lactitol monohydrate and ispaghula husk, which both tackle constipation in different ways.
Lactitol monohydrate acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestines. This softens the stool, making it easier to pass through the digestive tract.
Whereas ispaghula husk is a natural fiber derived from the seeds of the plantago ovata plant. It works as a bulk-forming laxative, absorbing water in the intestines to increase stool bulk and consistency. This stimulates intestinal muscles, promoting bowel movements.
Together, the combination of these ingredients softens and bulks up your stool, facilitating its passage through the digestive tract and relieving constipation.
Plavotol granules come in a single size of 100mg of lactitol monohydrate and ispaghula husk granules. The amount you’ll need to take will depend on your symptoms and doctor’s recommendation.

Plavotol granules are best taken after a meal. To use Plavotol, follow these steps:
For adults, the typical dose is one sachet twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Plavotol granules usually start working within 12-24 hours, although sometimes they may take 2-3 days to kick in completely. If you're still constipated after three days, get in touch with our doctors for guidance.
If you happen to miss a dose, just skip it (don't take an extra dose to catch up). Sticking to the correct dose of Plavotol granules is usually pretty simple, but if you accidentally take too much, drink plenty of water to reduce the chance of side effects, and inform your doctor.
