Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had an anal fissure and constipation. My doctor advised me to take two spoons of Lactifiber (90 g) twice daily for a month. Should I take two teaspoons or two tablespoons? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is two tablespoons. Initially, start with two tablespoons, if you are not relieved with constipation then increase it to three tablespoons.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
