Libramed, combined with a balanced diet, adequate fluid intake and regular physical activity, thanks to its mechanism of action, is indicated for weight control in adults and children from 8 years of age. Libramed, thanks to Policaptil Gel Retard, acts at the intestinal level forming a highly viscous gel that favors the reduction of the quantity and speed of absorption of carbohydrates (retard effect). This also determines a reduction in the feeling of hunger and postprandial drowsiness. In addition, with the same mechanism, Policaptil Gel Retard limits the absorption of fats, promotes intestinal transit and regularizes the consistency of stools. It is recommended to take 3 tablets before the two main meals for adults and adolescents over 12 years old. For children aged 8 to 12 years old: 2 tablets before the two main meals. Take the dose indicated on the package with a full glass of water, swallowing only one tablet at a time. Do not chew or break the tablets with your teeth. Those who have swallowing problems can dissolve LibraMed tablets in warm water or unsweetened infusions, stirring until completely dissolved. The resulting drink should be consumed within a few minutes, before the gel forms. People with swallowing problems are advised not to take the tablets directly, as they must be dissolved beforehand. It is recommended to take the product leaving a minimum interval of two hours between the administration of drugs so that it does not interfere with their absorption. Do not administer during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
