There is no evidence related to mal-absorption of medicines if taken along with fiber supplements.

 

Generally speaking, fiber supplements are usually preferred to be taken on empty stomach whereas most (not all) of the medicines are advised to be taken after meals, so there is little chance of medicine binding with fiber supplements.

SOLUBLE vs INSOLUBLE-As a recreational bodybuilder, I have always been told to do the logical thing which is to consume both . The gel formed in the bowel after consumption of SOLUBLE fibre can supposedly slow down transit time  and reduce absorption of certain foods and or chemicals but then again you would think that even at a lower absorption rate ,the increased transit time would allow more nutrients or medicines  through. Is it possible that too much time spent in the gut due to insoluble fibre consumption may lead to medicines getting broken down before absorption? Everytime you think you have the answer another study comes out that  proves otherwise.
