INTRODUCTION

Psyllium (PS) or ispaghula is derived from the seed husk of Plantago ovata. It is available as fiber laxative, bulk-forming. IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to PS (asthma, rhinitis and anaphylaxis) have been described in nurses dispensing PS containing laxative to patients (1-5), in workers of pharmaceutical industries processing PS (6,7) and, from ingestion of PS laxative (1,5,8).
