Answers:
They are now only used as a bulk laxative!. A few years back they were also prescribed as a diet aid as they make you feel full!. They were however remarkably ineffective as a weight loss aid and this indication was withdrawn!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Methylcellulose (or methyl cellulose) is a chemical compound derived from cellulose!. It is a hydrophilic white powder in pure form and dissolves in cold (but not in hot) water, forming a clear viscous solution or gel!. It is sold under a variety of trade names and is used as a thickener and emulsifier in various food and cosmetic products, and also as a treatment of constipation!. Like cellulose, it is not digestible, not toxic, and not allergenic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This belongs to the group of medicines known as bulk-forming laxative!.
Methylcellulose is used alongside a low calorie diet to treat obesity (excess body weight)!. It works by swelling in the stomach to give the impression you have eaten, reducing hunger!.
Methylcellulose is also sometimes used to treat constipation and to help regulate the passage of food through the gut in people with certain chronic (long term) bowel disorders
