μμ© κΈ°μ : Psyllium acts primarily through mechanical and physical mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract: * **Water Absorption:** The hemicellulose mucilage absorbs water in the intestinal lumen and swells. * **Peristalsis Induction:** The increased bulk distends the intestinal wall β stimulates stretch receptors β **induces peristalsis** and decreases overall intestinal transit time. * **Sand Clearance (Horses):** The mucilaginous gel formed by psyllium helps collect and bind sand, lubricating its passage through the GI tract for elimination.

- Aspirin (and other salicylates) Β· Potential exists for psyllium to bind and reduce absorption if given at the same time; separate doses by 3 hours or more.
- Digoxin Β· Potential exists for psyllium to bind and reduce absorption if given at the same time; separate doses by 3 hours or more.

If administered with sufficient liquid, psyllium overdose should cause only an increased amount of soft or loose stools. If administered without sufficient liquid, risk of severe esophageal or intestinal obstruction increases.
