What is Agiocur for?

Agiocur is a bulk-forming laxative. It is a combination of two herbs Ispaghula husk and Plantago seed. It can absorb liquid in the intestine to make stool more bulky and softer, so that stool can pass more easily. Therefore, Agiocur is used for treating constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.
