Mebeverine

Mebeverine is a generic version of Colofac, a trusted IBS treatment. It works as an antispasmodic to ease discomfort caused by conditions like IBS, spastic colitis, and chronic irritable colon. The tablets are designed to reduce symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain by relaxing the smooth muscles of the gut.

Mebeverine hydrochloride helps regulate bowel movement and alleviate cramping by:

• Relaxing smooth muscles in the gut.
• Preventing painful spasms.
• Restoring the natural rhythm of digestion.

This targeted action helps reduce distressing IBS symptoms, allowing you to focus on daily activities without discomfort.

• Dosage: Take 1 tablet up to three times daily, ideally 20 minutes before meals.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not chew.
• Usage: Take as needed during symptom flare-ups and stop once symptoms improve.
• Duration: If no improvement is seen after two weeks, consult your doctor.

Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider and read the patient information leaflet before starting treatment.
