(a) Fibrecon

Active ingredient (in each caplet)

Calcium polycarbophil 625 mg equivalent to 500 mg polycarbophil..................... Bulk-forming laxative

http://www.fibercon.com/label.asp

Calcium Polycarbophil is the calcium salt of polyacrylic acid cross-linked with polyether or divinyl glycol. When dispersed in water, the molecules become uncoiled and extended into a three-dimensional insoluble network. It may absorb water up to 70 times of its own weight. This gelling nature gives Calcium Polycarbophil its versatility.

(b) Benefibre caplets

Be careful of the chewables they contain sorbitol and sucralose.
