Can I take metamucil while on Pentasa? Thanks

The active ingredient of metamucil is psyllium husk. Psyllium husk can lead to absorption problems with medication. While pentasa is topically active, I still wouldn't take Pentasa for at least 2 hours before or after the metamucil. As for whether or not you should take the metamucil, that would be a question for your doctor.

Welcome to the community by the way :)
