What is Citrucel ?

Citrucel is an over-the-counter fiber supplement primarily used to treat occasional constipation and maintain regular bowel movements. Its active ingredient, methylcellulose, is a non-fermentable, soluble fiber that increases stool bulk and promotes bowel regularity without causing excess gas. Citrucel is available in powder or caplet form and is typically well-tolerated, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a gentle, effective solution for constipation relief.
