Expert advice for Castophene Tablet
Together with Castophene, fiber rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits and green leafy vegetables, is essential to maintain healthy bowel function. Avoid taking a Castophene for more than 1 week, unless prescribed by the doctor, as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement.  Take Castophene after 2 hours from other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines. Castophene should be preferably taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact.
