In case of persistent gastrointestinal problems (eg constipation after intestinal surgery), metabolic disorders or long-term medication (eg hormone preparations such as the contraceptive pill or medication to manage bowel functions) formoline L112 should only be taken after medical consultation.
Do not take formoline L112 if you are prone to allergies or allergic to crustaceans or any of the other ingredients.
Do not take formoline L112 if you are underweight (BMI<18.5)
Not to be taken if you are under the age of 16 years without consulting with your doctor first.

A weight control regime for anyone over the age of 80 years should be undertaken only on the advice of your GP/doctor
Please consult your doctor when treating elevated cholesterol and LDL levels before taking formoline L112.

Due to the high fat binding capacity of formoline L112, all fats and fat-like substances can be bound, including vitamin A or steroids found in oral contraceptives - the pill - and in menopausal discomfort treatments, formoline L112 may also impair the availability of fat-soluble (lipophilic) substances. Therefore, avoid concomitant use of medicines or vitamins for at least 4 hours.
The use of formoline L112 may lead to temporary changes in stool consistency and, in rare instances, digestive problems (eg constipation, flatulence, feelings of fullness) may be observed by inadequate fluid intake. Constipation may lead to short-term weight gain.
Doses of above the recommended daily dosage have not been shown to provide additional benefit, but may increase the tendency towards constipation.
In very rare cases, allergic reactions to one of the ingredients are possible. In individual cases, symptoms of allergy may include diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, skin rash, itching, sweating, tingling, shivering, dizziness and headache. However, formoline L112 is generally accepted as being well tolerated.
