mettamucil

Question

CYA posted: Many people put hand lotion on everyday. In that case it would not be considered Refua/medicine and is therefore Muttar. According to this reasoning, if one takes mettamucil every day for preventative purposes, can one take it one shabbos? thank you.

Answered by Chaim Yisrael Abadi

It is muttar to take in your case, because he is a choleh, not because of the above reasoning. CYA
